Music & Life.

Music. Thanks so much for the continued support! The show last night at the Red Devil was sold out and I was so happy that you people came out to listen at such a venue where I haven't had that response before. Of all the CD's I had on me, are now gone thanks to you. It has been an interested year of backwards movement from Large band, to more broken down set. However, backwards is not a bad thing. It is actually inspiring me to create new sounds and ideas that I have dreamed about and finally are coming to fruition. To listen to the new stuff - go to www.justinancheta.com - where I will place some new songs very soon. The new album is being worked on as we speak and hoping to come out in 2011 and make some good tours off of it. Good times on the road ahead! Europe & Hawaii, were as unique a tour as you could possibly get (read earlier blogs for some stories on this).



Life. Live. Living to it's fullest. The sun has been amazing here in SF since I got back a week ago and finally it is looking like winter with a new rainstorm here. I am welcoming it in because it seems to ground me to write, practice, and sit meditatively in my home pondering my existence and how amazing it is that I am breathing, free still.

I am still excited about the future and the possibilities of what we can all create Together. I am also weary of the opposite; disconnect and greed seems to push us, family and friends, in the wrong direction. The idea of all for one and one for all seems to be a far off dream of once was. I am living there, feeling the weight of waiting for everyone to jump on board. Thankfully where I live has been showing many signs and teaching me new ways to live together. Here are some new ideas that we have been talking about at Conrad Beach:


Communal living in 2012:

Some other communities working on the same efforts. Goals being to reduce overhead and increase quality of life.
If the 4 or 5 houses surrounding the Bus Stop Collective all went in on a place or a block together, with Conrad, We are looking at 40 people at least. 40 x $400 a month is $16000 - What can people have for $16000 collectively in the city? Is it enough for something such as Project Artaud? (http://www.artaud.org/).

Some ideas floating, grasping for grounding.
