There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

for some reason when I read this I thought of you. Hope all is well!

I want to let people know about Jadina and her guided journeys on our behalf.

One morning several weeks ago I received a life-altering email from my friend Jadina Lilien.  In it, she offered to go on a guided journey on my behalf.  A very special guided journey.

I enthusiastically and gratefully took Jadina up on her kind offer. She went on a guided journey for me, and sent me a beautiful account of what she had seen.

To which I replied:

"Jadina, i am not often at a loss for words but this is such a case. the account of your journey taken on my behalf and its connection to my life and the clues and suggestions about the question i posed has had such a profound impact on me. i have spent a lot of time thinking about this question and talking to others about it and the insights from your journey are completely original and i'm sure will be very useful. it might take me a bit to process the journey, and i'm sure i'll have questions. i would love a piece of art work...i'm sure it will be amazing and evoke all sorts of spiritual energy...in me, perhaps in you, and perhaps in the cosmos."

I want to let people know about Jadina and her guided journeys on our behalf to any and all interested folks. If you have any questions about the experience or have questions about the specifics of the account of Jadina’s guided journey taken on hippie lou’s behalf, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

and you can connect with Jadina and find out about the details of her wonderful offer here.  :)

peace & love with kind regards, hippie lou

I met Mary Ellen Mark at a gallery opening that Hippie Lou dragged me to. I didn't know who she was but she was very friendly and nice to me... Now, in retrospect, I realized her friendliness was natural because she was the kind of person who could talk to anyone anywhere, it was a talent she used to photograph in the streets. She gave me her card, which I still have, and afterwards I researched who she was... How I wish I have asked her more questions about her art but feel very blessed to have had a chance to meet her.

Perhaps that is all you needed to know and learn from her. It seems that little interaction met the purpose

i am not educated, nor am i an expert in any particular field–but i am sincere and my sincerity is my credential.

And comes through masterfully in your postings! Honored to know you.

Howdy Lou,

Thanks again for taking care of my little man. I’m sure he’ll dig your vibe and he’ll warm up to you.  Cause you’re the closest thing to magic.

The most important thing to talk about is feeding.

Make sure to change his water once a day, preferably in the mornings.

On the counter in the kitchen is his dry food, they’re old sealed containers that used to carry mixed nuts. Inside is a ¼ cup instrument that makes it super easy for you to portion his food, just two scoops in the morning.

Doing this in the morning gives you the freedom to leave the apartment and do your hippie thing.  This portion would be enough to feed him most of the day… his breakfast and lunch in a way.
That just leaves one can of wet food to give him at night. They’re also on the counter in the kitchen… feel free to use any bowls you see around I think I have like 4 small ones. Clean them whenever you like.

The litterbox was cleaned before leaving it shouldn’t need a deep clean. If the level of litter looks too low, just top it off. It easy to forget but try to scoop out the litter once a day. I like to pretend I’m a miner sifting for gold.  The scooper is right next to the litter box.  Extra litter will be near by too.

There are various toys around for you to play with him if you’d like. He loves it and it a great way of getting his confidence. Sometimes it easy just to throw one of the cloth mice and see him chase it or the fishing pole toys, those work the best.

That’s all it takes to keep a cat alive and happy. It’s a walk in the park.

There’s 2 metrocards for you to use. One is a monthly unlimited I already started, the other one is a new one to use when the older one expires. No ones here to use them so you might as well.

Feel free to play around with my toys. The record player has a broken stylus sadly but there are plenty of guitars, synths, amps and pedals. The iMac is hooked up with my recording interface; with those speakers you can listen to The Dead like never before.  And of course the Internet, Wifi password is

So make yourself comfortable, this is your house for the next 2 weeks.  Turn on the AC, surf the web and sleep in. Everything in the fridge is free to eat., there’s coffee if you want to make it.

I think if covered everything but feel free to contact me via email. I’ll try to call and check in every now and again. Hopefully I can reach you at a good time.

Enjoy and Thank You

FYI, my aunts might drop by from time to time to clean up and dust the place. I can arrange a fair warning if you’d like.  I’d imagine they would come by the times your out and about strolling.

Feel free to email me, I’d love to hear from you!

I love your photos, you are a Cindy Sherman-type, what will he look like in the next pic?!
