Hello Again,

Please let your friends know that TwansList is up and running again.

** JUNE 7: CARNEVALE! VENICE BEACH RETURNS ! **

Venice, CA-The sixth Carnevale! Venice Beach will be held on  
Saturday, June 7th at Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Boulevard from noon  
until 9 PM. Admission is free and costumes are encouraged in the  
tradition of the famed Carnevale in Venice, Italy which is the  
inspiration of this colorful neighborhood festival.

The Venice Carnevale, produced by the Venice Artists Forum in  
Association with the Venice Chamber of Commerce and sponsored in  
party by the City ofLos Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, will  
feature an all-day lineup of live entertainment from the local area  
and will conclude with its traditional fiery finale.

“We are very excited to be moving our festival to the Beyond Baroque  
Literary Arts Center, located in the old City Hall, right next to the  
fire station on Venice Boulevard just east of Abbot Kinney, and there  
could not be a more appropriate historical location,” Jauchem said.  
“It will be an added treat that the old jail next door which houses  
SPARC (Social & Public Art Resource Center) also be open for the  
festival that day.”

“We have some of our usual, fantastic performers” said Miriam More,  
Co-Producer, “and some fabulous new talent.Featured groups will  
include the Venice Drum Circle, Street Smarts, Kathy Leonardo,  
Wadada, Hillel “Mr. Balloonman”, and a variety of other performances  
ranging from Baraka bellydancing to Italian opera, ending with  
apyrotechic bang furnished by DMT and the Phoenix Group fire dancers!”.

Brady Walker, the other Co-Producer, who has been handling relations  
with the City, had high praise for Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s  
office, “His staff has been extremely helpful in working out the  
details for use of this city facility.We could not have staged the  
Carnevale without their help.”

The festival will include a variety of performances on the Main  
Stage, Arts and Crafts vendors, food service, and the Masquerade Bar  
and Lounge with DJ Fatfinger from Project Alma and guest DJ’s all  
day.Parking is available in public lots east of the event behind the  
Pacific Resident Theater.Further information is available at  
www.carnevale.us or via e-mail at celebrate at carnevale.us.

** JUNE 7: PLAYA SURFERS BURNING MAN CAMP FUNDRAISER **

http://www.twanslist.com/2008/tiki-freaky-playa-surfers/

Help Playa Surfers Camp Get to Burning Man
Tiki Freaky - Burning Man Camp Fundraiser

Playa Surfers were on the Esplanade near 5:30 last year. In addition  
to a fun lounge and wicked tuneage, we provided wheeled surfboards  
(bike-towed versions and self-powered ones) for the masses in BRC to  
surf the playa with. Totally fun if we say so ourselves! This year  
we’re expanding our lounge, adding a lifeguard tower, and putting mo’  
and betta’ powered surfboards on the playa for all to enjoy!

Please help us in pursuit of bringing our brand of happiness to you  
by participating in our fundraising party. Our last party was truly  
off the hook, so we’re at it again!

** JUNE 7: VISIONARY HOLLYWOOD BUS TOUR **

Hi there

For Angelinos and neighbors:

This is a reminder that my Visionary Hollywood bus tour is taking  
place on June 7th. There are still a few spots, so if you are  
interested in attending you might want to sign up. I just found out  
the Isis Aquarian, one of the members of Father Yahowa's Source  
family, will be on the tour. (I wrote the intro to the amazing Source  
book that came out last year from Process.) We will be having lunch  
one the lawn of the Aetherius Society, one of the area's classic UFO  
sects. Its going to be a blast methinks.

Details:

WHAT: "Visionary Hollywood" bus tour of historic spiritual sites, led  
by Erik Davis
WHEN: Saturday June 7, 10:45am-3:45pm, departs from Skylight Books in  
Los Feliz
COST: $64/person, lunch included

If you are interested in joining me on this tour, please consider

In June Esotouric, the eclectic bus adventure company whose tours
reveal L.A.'s secret history, launches VISIONARY HOLLYWOOD, a new tour
hosted by San Francisco-based writer Erik Davis and inspired by his
acclaimed 2006 book "The Visionary State." On this journey of
exploration through the mystic realms of Los Angeles, co-sponsored by  
Arthur
magazine, passengers will join Erik on a guided tour of five  
extraordinary
religious sites, meet followers of their respective faiths and  
explore the fascinating
history of alternative religious practice in Southern California.

The tour departs from Skylight Books in Los Feliz and includes visits
to five extraordinary destinations:

THE AETHERIUS SOCIETY, a center for cosmic consciousness and healing
founded in 1955 by UFO contactee Dr. George King, where guests will
hear actual recordings of an extraterrestrial voice conveying
significant messages. KROTONA APARTMENTS, a former Theosophical
retreat founded in 1914, where guests will have a rare opportunity to
visit the central courtyard and view the Rosicrucian window of this
now-private residence. THE MONASTERY OF THE ANGELS, a Dominican
sanctuary in the Hollywood Hills, where guests will listen to the
sisters' Liturgy of the Hours singing, then shop for homemade pumpkin
bread, candy and crafts in their gift shop. THE PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH
SOCIETY, founded in 1934 as a non-denominational repository for the
wisdom of the world, where guests will be greeted by librarian,
lecturer and author Maja D'Aoust and given a guided tour of the
Society's remarkable library. THE VEDANTA SOCIETY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, founded in 1930 to bring sacred Hindu philosophy to the
West, where guests will be given a presentation on the Society's
history and programming, and browse in its fine gift shop.

Tour cost includes a catered lunch served at The Aetherius Society and
a seat on a luxury coach class bus equipped with monitors, air
conditioning and restroom.

RELATED EVENTS: On Sunday, June 8 at 11am, tour host Erik Davis
invites the public to a brunch gathering entitled "The Visionary
State: An Open Discussion on California Spirituality," at Clifton's
Cafeteria, 648 South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.

On Sunday, June 15th at 8pm, Erik will also host a program of short  
films and talks
at the Silent Movie Theatre devoted to "Occult Los Angeles." Also  
presenting will be Louis Sahagun, author of “Master of the  
Mysteries”, a new bio of Manly P. Hall; and Brian Butler, an expert  
on the life of Cameron, mistress of JPL rocket scientist Jack Parsons  
and LA’s most intriguing enchantress.

** LASERIUM SHOWS FOR JUNE **

http://www.twanslist.com/2008/laserium-schedule-june/

This month, Laserium shows will be performed on Saturdays June 7 and  
21. On both days, The Beatles Laserium Show will again be presented  
in spectacular Lazer 3D--with free Lazer Glasses and special Laserium  
Beatles posters to go--at 6:00, followedby Dark Side of the Moon at  
8:00 and Led Zeppelin at 10:00. And those joining us on the 21st will  
help us celebrate the Summer Solstice and be first to hear of our  
exciting plans for the summer and beyond. Admission is $15 payable  
online at www.laserium.com, with a dollar discount for groups of 5 or  
more. Reservations cannot be confirmed without advance payment.  
Because seating is limited, patrons are advised to reserve early. The  
Cyberstudio is located at 6911 Hayvenhurst Ave., Van Nuys, marked by  
the lighted Laserium sign.

Also enhancing the Laserium shows will be stunning multi-color laser  
effects filling the air overhead. Each show experience lasts about  
11/2 hours and will begin in an adjacent studio with the interactive  
technologies to be incorporated in the forthcoming Laserium  
CyberSpace.Patrons will have fun enjoying the unique, “freespace- 
interactive” LightDancer, which puts their full body in flawless  
control of lasers, video and musical accompaniment. And the  
experience now features an exciting new set of music and multimedia  
effects. Says Ivan Dryer, creator of Laserium, “Our Cyberstudio may  
be intimate in scale, but the effects are pretty overwhelming, and  
what people can see and do is unlike anything available anywhere—even  
previously at the Griffith Observatory!”


Following the special, enhanced performance of “Dark Side of the  
Zeppelin” at the Coachella Valley Music Festival, Laserium shows will  
again be presented in the Cyberstudio on Saturdays May 10 and 24.On  
both days the Beatles Laserium Show will again be presented in  
spectacular Lazer 3D--with free Lazer Glasses and special Laserium  
Beatles posters to go--at 6:00, followedby Dark Side of the Moon at  
8:00 and Led Zeppelin at 10:00.

** "SCRAPPER" - AN EXPLOSIVE DOCUMENTARY **

"Scrapper"

An Explosive New Documentary by Local Director Stephan Wassmann

View the trailer here:

http://www.twanslist.com/2008/scrapper-explosive-documentary/

Stephan Wassmann is a good friend of mine. He and I met when we were  
both working on our very first feature film when we were in our early  
20's. It was an ultra-low budget piece of crap called "Warlords From  
Hell", produced by B-movie mogul Roger Corman, co-starring Robert  
Patrick in his first movie role. Stephan and I have remained friends  
over the years and have kept tabs on each other's endeavors. Stephan  
was one of the director/cameramen for a project that is still on the  
shelf, waiting for ME (Twan) to get off my ass and make happen: the  
1999 Burning Man Voodoo Opera - Le Mystere de Papa Loko. Absolutely  
amazing footage.

You can also view the trailer on the "Scrapper" website at:

	www.scrapperfilm.com

There's a 3 minute and 1 minute trailer. We'd love it if you posted a  
comment if you don't mind taking the time.

We're trying to generate as much buzz as we can, so feel free to  
forward the link to friends.

Best wishes to everyone,

Stephan Wassmann

** CORRECTION ON LAST WEEK'S ART CAR MISCOMMUNICATION **

(I misunderstood Linda Graveline's message last week. I hope this  
message from Linda clears up any confusion).

Sorry for the miscommunication, I'm not doing an art car. My  
intention was to get Joyism out to the community so they can take it  
on and run with it, in whatever ways people see to forward it. I  
mentioned the joyism art car because I knew the BMan community had  
probably seen Rupert's car and I wanted to be clear that it's not the  
same thing. Rupert's actually got a totally different definition of  
it, as simple as the words "joy" and "ism" combined. At least that's  
what I got out of my conversation with him a couple years ago.

So there's no new joyism art car. Just joyism out in the world, with  
people from the BMan community creating what they see to create  
inside of the realm I defined. (I actually wouldn't want to do  
something at bman that's already been done anyway.)
