Aaron Myers is an old friend of mine, who I graduated form High School with... It sucks, cause I'm gonna be on a plane to LA (well, maybe it doesn't suck all that bad) so I won't get a chance to see his first performance at Buzz, but everyone should go (well, it's Honeydew, so I imagine it'll be packed! FUCK!) and see if you can catch him, to let me know how he is (if you like drum and bass.) Rob

Speaking from personal experience, I have had some of the most significant spirtual experience through hallucinagins. I recognize where the drug has its influence, but anyone who has ever tripped knows that it is a very introspective drug, and whether you believe you are actually speaking to a higher power, spirit, or to yourself, it's the outcome which is most important. As far as American Indians (I hate the term Native Amerivan. It's a government term used to generally classify a but of specific sects of people. Did you know that Hawaiians and Eskimos are native americans too? Hell, so am I. I was born hear. I'm Native to America, dammit!), peyote is only one for of a vision quest, and not all tribes use it, since it grows in specific parts of the world. These vision quests are also accomplished through prayer, meditation, fasting, sweat lodges, and the like. I have participtated in several sweat lodges, and it's not the drugs that bring across the visions. It's the energy and faith. The strongest power we as humans have is the power of belief, and people can do some pretty amazing things with that (when it is true and not perverted for some other means). Catholics have their own for of vision quests. When they count the roseary beads, and repeat the prayer over and over. I'm not sure what it is called, but it is the exact same process that Indians, who have been deemed by certain religions as hethens, use for some of their meditative purposes.

I'm going. Even though I haven't posted much here, I've met most of you guys before, over Malanee's. If not there, I've met you through my boy Kuro. See you guys soon. Rob
