hey, where did all the futurists go?
It's been about 2 months since I last posted.
The futurists are ebbin' and flowin'.
Fellow futurists have been all over the globe the past couple of months.
From Maui to Mexico to Malawi, I guess you could say that the futurists are living life to the fullest.
A few projects that are in the mix.
1. September - Fund Raising event for the Bro Futurists and the Hobosoul.
2. October - Camping Trip
3. November - New Bro Futurist product line - stickers, t-shirts, koozies, and frisbees
4. Holiday hiatus.
5. February - Salton Sea Field Trip #2 (this will now become a yearly event)

On Global Chilling
Global Chilling.
What is it? What does it mean?
Global Chilling is an idea that lies at the very heart of Bro Futurism.
Global Chilling, or Global Chillin' as it is commonly referred to, is a way of being.
It is a way of being with the world and with the world's people in a way that
stirs up hope.
It is anti-Armageddon, anti-doomsday, and anti-apocalyptic.
It is pro-future, pro-keeping your head on straight, pro-people, pro-hope,
pro-love, pro-peace, and pro-bro.
The term Global Chillin' arose as a response to the fear aroused by global warming.
While it is all well and good to do our part to end global warming, we have to pay attention to
what is underneath that pursuit; we have to pay attention to what is actually driving
the desire.
I believe what is underneath the desire to end global warming, is a desire to live in harmony.
Harmony with the earth and with the earth's people.
Because we could totally end the threat of global warming and climate annihilation, and still be complete jerks to each other. That's not the vision that I want for our future.
Rather, I propose that we seriously chill out and not get so overly hyped up about overbearing tragedies of the world, specifically climate change.
Let's move together in a position of overbearing hope and generosity.
Let's allow our vision to be a long term pursuit, a marriage if you will.
Remember, only 30 years ago every climatologist thought we were heading into the next ice age. Who's to say that we couldn't be there again in the next 30 years?
Sam Arthur has completed a graphic for this idea (Global Chilling) which I will post in a few days.
Suffice it to say:
Let your vision of the longterm future inform your present world view, and chill out when your past doesn't look like you think it should.

Saturday in the Park (3)
We Love Long Beach has posted some more pics from Saturdays event!This is what the mural looked like before we let folks paint it.
Also, the van got a new paint job (just on one door)
Saturday in the Park (2)
The We Love Long Beach event was spectacular this past Saturday.I have pretty radical tank top sunburn lines.
We were all very pleased at the response to our community painting project.
I often feel like art can take the form of elitism or exclusivity when presented in a gallery or a museum. Galleries and museums are wonderful, but sometimes they are too far removed from the communities in which they exist.
My opinion is that art should create value, excitement, involvement, inspiration, and sometimes introspection, for the local community. Often times, art exists within the circles of other art makers, buyers, and collectors. While we like existing and operating within those circles, we are committed to investing in the circles that are often missed in receiving this enrichment.
I'm looking forward to developing more projects along these lines.
As always, our group has developed and is sustained by the relationships we hold with each other, not the art we make.

transportation (2)
We, at the Bro Futurists Institute of Pursuing Awesomeness (BFIPA - pronounced: bee - fippa), like to keep things on the move; on a roll, if you will.
One of the interesting things about Southern California, specifically Orange and LA Counties, is that we have really crappy mass transit systems. Well, it's not so much that they are crappy, as much as it has to do with the time period in which these cities were developed. These counties were developed after the time of the automobile; or, concurrently with the development of the automobile. So, there are these pods of cities that are all roughly 20 miles from each other.
Thus, most of us have grown very accustomed to having a car and working it in steadily to our lifestyle. And for those of us who have jobs in other cities, or are in other things in other cities, we kinda need a car. I know need is sometimes a dirty word, but allow me it for the sake of conversation.
What I'm really trying to get at is - if you're gonna drive, do it in style. And I'm not advocating an abandonment to the responsibility that we all have to steward our resources well, I'm just saying keep it real.
For instance, our friends at the Hobosoul are definitely keeping it real.
As I mentioned earlier, Sam Arthur is keeping it real.
Between our immediate group of artist and friends, we have quite a collection of awesome transportation: 73 Winnebago, 65 Barracuda, Sam's Mercedes (Year?), 86 Chevy High Cube, Chrysler Le Baron (Year?), O'Brien's kick ass Land Rover ('61, i think?), Countless beautiful bicycles, skateboards, and now an 8 foot wooden row boat!

My dear friend and fellow futurist, Sam Arthur, is racking up some sweet rides these days.
Dang!
