Two excitements from this week:The geniuses at Forward Motion San Francisco filled up the Monarch club with a plastic ball pit. Only 3 feet deep, but still, pretty cool! Problem is everyone wants to throw them and lie down in them rather than dance, which leads to painful moments, but it was definitely fun for longer than I anticipated.Some friends of mine in Oakland lived in the woods for two months, then came back and started hosting Ecstatic Art nights - like ecstatic dance (where you luxuriate in the pleasure of the moment and that's it), but with paint!I had a blast painting - though I'll admit I didn't enjoy my end result of paintings that much. But I'd highly recommend the act of pair painting with people you're close with - sharing a canvas with someone, where you're both working together but have no control over the other, is very, very intimate and enlightening.
