"There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe.
The horizontal threads are in space.
The vertical threads are in time.
At every crossing of the threads, there is an individual, and every individual is a crystal bead.
And every crystal bead reflects not only the light from every other crystal in the net, but also every other reflection throughout the entire universe."

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

Candian Rebellions of 1837-1838
Posted

The Daily Lower's Newspaper
December 3rd, 1838 ~ Quebec, Lower Canada
From the beginning of last year,
Upper and Lower Canada were thrown into turmoil when revoltists decided to
uproot rebellions against the Crown and Canada’s political state of affairs.
The revolt here in Lower Canada has been much more brutal and severe of the
two.
The rebellion here was started by
Louis Joseph Papineau and his patriots, along with some modest French-Canadian
nationalists. Together, they overtook the elected Legislative Assembly.
Over 18 years ago, they had
peacefully disputed the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and tested
powers of British leaders.
What did they want? Simply, they
wanted control over how salaries earned in the colony were spent, and a
responsible government. These pleas were rejected in London after many years of
begging. This caused tensions among the people to rise and several protest
rallies were born.
After many years, last year in
November of 1837 two large frenzies took place. Battles arose with the help of
Patriot rebels, trained British regulars, and also Anglophone volunteers. Their
team was very disorganized, which led to a quick defeat. Papineau, along with
other rebel leaders quickly departed to the United States.
Then, just over a month ago, a
second rebellion outbreak was launched with the help of brave American
volunteers. Unfortunately, this second battle was also quickly put to rest, as
it was shamefully poorly organized. These uprisings altogether, left almost 500
people either dead or captured. Papineau has again fled to the United States,
but this time for exile in Paris.
Following this 2nd defeat, Lower Canada is planning to merge with Upper Canada and create one whole great nation.

DEVASTATION IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
WEATHER REPORT FOR DECEMBER 3RD-4TH, 1838

if found please return to 2664 Circle Ave.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor of The Daily Lowers,
Louis-Joseph Papineau said “We will not cease our demands for full political rights and power, and though we feel uneasy, we hope that the British government will at last grant us justice. In this hope, we shall do nothing to hasten our separation from the mother country, unless it be to prepare and lead the people towards that day, which will know neither monarchy nor aristocracy." He is talking about the British wanting the French to leave but he is saying that we are not going anywhere. That is one of the things that started the Lower Canada rebellion and I completely agree with what he says. Also the French are telling each other not to buy anything from the British because we are trying to be our own independent people. I am totally for the rebellion and Louis-Joseph Papineau is a great leader of the Patriote Party.
Sincerly,
Jean Dumont
Montreal, Quebec

Lower Canada struggles for their freedon and lean towards rebellion towards the country. Lower Canada's most brutal protests of them all. Papineau just wanted to have control over earnings and how they were spent, unfortunately others did not agree, and that is how they arrived at this battlefield.
Papineau, Louis-Joseph, lawyer and seigneur, politician. Born October 7th 1786 in Montreal. Son of Jeseph Papineau and Rosalie Chewier.

JESSY NITE LIVES IT DAY AND NITE
How did you get into incorporating pills into your work?most of my work is about my relationship with drugs and behaviors/people that surround them. Whether they lean toward molly or prescriptions, pills speak to a certain kind of high and dependency that I like to play with. They are the friendliest and most fun drug to use. (in my art or real life haha)I use it seamlessly throughout my process these days. I use all of my own content throughout my pieces (all type styles are my creation and all illustration is done byYou have a strong connection with graphic design, how much does it play into your art practice in the studio?
JESSY NITE IS AN ARTIST AND DESIGNER ORIGINALLY FROM NEW YORK BUT NOW CALLS MIAMI HOME. HER WORK TAKES YOU ON A CRAZY TRIP THROUGH COLOR FIELD INSTALLATIONS AND HER SIGNUATURE SYSTEMATIC PILL CALLIGRAPHy PIECES will MAKE EVEN THE SOBER O.D.
All Photos by David Cabrera. View all photoshere.
hand to start off) so everything begins with my technical drawing skills. My graphic design skills allow me to work on a larger scale and with variety of mediums, and influence my concepts and aesthetic.I've always been a party animal and was exposed to nightlife culture when I was young. I work my ass of these days so I don't get out as much as I used to, but every now and then I love to get totally wasted and go to the mega clubs like LIV, Story or The Wall. I love the whole show…the music, lights, performers and even the hilarity within the crowd. Its such a bizzaro world with two very contrasting realities. In-the-moment is one thing but the reality of it all is another. That South Beach club world is really not my scene but its fun to visit for sure!!!Are you really into nightlife? Where are some places you like to hang out that may inspire your work?
(Interview continues below)
(Interview continues below)
Tell us a little bit about your current show right now at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center.Behavioral Patterns is a group of new works that reflect a lot of personal experiences. Its a survey of the bad behaviors that I continue to repeat and struggle with. The stories are personal and reflect my feelings toward a very specific area of my life. One piece reads "Tried & True" in one direction, and "Tired & Thru" in the other….that is about relationships and the kind of people I always choose to be with. "Roll Model" is the duality of the party girl in-the-moment and after. Although, those serious undertones are clouded by the sentimental nature of the sayings and the colorful and clean presentation.Working on anything currently?This November is going to be so busy! First up I am releasing a dope new print and a very limited edition of pill jewelry that matches my "Roll Model" piece, then a large installation going up in the Filling Station in Wynwood, a new building takeover on Calle Ocho, a giant rainbow vortex for a show in Ft Lauderdale, and perhaps a little surprise for Basel…I gotta keep you posted on that last one!No low points…I keep it positive!Lowest point in your art career was when?I get higher everyday...Highest point in your art career at this point has been?

WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE ROSE BOWL FLEA

SO. Where were we? Ah yes... In my last post I was saying "YES" and venturing out into the world of the small business owner. And now, it's October, and many months have gone by since the paperwork was filed, and the fee's were paid, and now I find myself $3k in debt, to...uh...myself.
There are various expenses incurred when starting your own business, even if you are doing virtually all the work alone. I even built my own garment rails to save money...(pictured below) and I STILL had to lay out 4K total just to get my little store off the ground.
I decided to sell at the the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea, and also online. Easy you say... buy some vintage clothing, pack up your car, set up shop and have a lovely old time. I said the same thing... And now I laugh in my own face.
Just to get going I needed garment rails, shopping bags, tents for shade. I pay $120 per month space rental, $120 per month uhaul rental, and at least $75 in lunch and gas. I needed labels, label guns ,tissue paper, office supplies, a book keeper and jewelry displays, and non of this actually includes the cost of stock for resale.
Let's talk about stock. Where do you think your vintage clothing comes from? We'd all like to think our one of a kind finds have been hanging in the back of some sweet old biddy's closet for the last 50 years, until one day she pops off and they emerge in a glory of lost treasure now found but... News flash: That is not the case. I buy my vintage wholesale from rag houses. Enormous warehouses in the unloved parts of Los Angeles that require a dust mask, a strong back, and an even stronger will. I spend the better part of a day knee deep in the ugliest clothing you have ever seen, desperateley hoping that under the hundreds of pounds of 80's shoulder pads there will be a miracle. One piece of vintage clothing that not only is beautiful enough to save, but somehow not stained, or torn, or shredded. The number of incredible damaged finds I have had to throw back into the vast ocean of vintage crap is devastating. The simple fact is, true chic vintage is rare, because it rarely makes it this far.
So we have our stock, our rails and our tents, we've loaded our truck for 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon, packed our lunch and picked our outfit for the following day (something that says "I'm cool so my taste in vintage must be" ) now what? Well, you hit the sack around 7pm on Saturday night. No more SNL for you. Wake up around 2:30 / 3am on Sunday morning, eat some breakfast, hit the shower, hit the road. You arrive at the rose bowl around 3:30am, where you're greeted with a line of trucks a mile long, all waiting to gain entry to the gates of second hand goods. In the veil of darkness, you find your way to your 18ft x 20ft space, and you join your fellow vendors. Your comrades. The only other people in the world who know what its like to have joined this circus, and you each make your little slice of home. In a few hours an empty lot becomes the valley of the lost and found, and for one day only, we are the people of the Rose Bowl Flea.
WE ARE STRANGE FOLK, all trying to get by without committing to the 9 - 5 lifestyle we just weren't made for, and you never tire of the stories and personalities behind the facade of the ever smiling vendor. My neighbor was making a sale last week when a gentleman asked him "Are you big?" to which he obviously was a little confused, until the afore mentioned gentleman went on to ask if he "gave good head". There are two ladies selling jewelry across from me who make for fascinating people watching, every week one of the ladies bosses the other around in the most patronizing way, scolding her for not performing some menial task to her high standards, and then a customer will stop by and she'll flip on a dime. There are a couple odd balls who walk around in white gloves and face masks, a lovely old fellow who turned his motorized assistance scooter into a steam train, sound effects and all, and wears the cap and scarf to match. There's one vendor who won't let you buy anything... never understood that one. But despite our quirks and strange little habits, we are a community. We are a family. If your engine dies somebody's ready with a jump lead. If your stock blows away, somebody gives chase and brings it home safely. If its 100 degrees and you can't quite hold up, somebody shares their water, and shares their shade. And when the sun starts setting and the crowd thins out, we all celebrate or commiserate the days takings together.
As much as I love the Rose Bowl Flea and all its quirks I'm afraid I'm on my way out. I never intended for this to be a profession, I always saw it as more of a hobby, and for me the benefits just don't out weigh the work. It's hard, It's really hard. And more than anything I miss being able to peruse the thousands of stalls myself. But, never one to give up lightly, I'm committed to staying in the game until I break even.
So, If you find yourself Pasadena way on the second Sunday of the month, you might just see me, or, I might be already gone. Either way, I hope the next time you buy anything from a flea, you don't bargain quite as hard as you did. The people of the Rose Bowl Flea kill themselves to be there, and they deserve every penny they get.
