Since I'll already have the band together for the EctoFest West show, it wouldn't be that difficult. I was wondering if I could take a poll and find out how many of you might be interested in seeing a show in NY. If the number is too small, then I'll know not to book it. NY is a hard town to play without a lot of promotion so I need to be careful. Please feel free to write to me directly with a "Yes, I'd go to a NYC Happy show". No need to write with a negative response. Also, I'm going to start compiling a list in preparation for my next release. You all can help me greatly in this process. I need to know the radio stations and/or hosts or DJ's who lean toward all things Ectophilic. If you have a favorite local station you think might play a really weird chick who sounds like Kate Bush sometimes, please write me and give whatever info you can. Station, DJ's, phone numbers, websites etc. Please don't forget to tell me in what state you live. cptbryant@aol.com is the address. Or send it to the Auntie Social site. Thanks in advance and I can't wait to see some of you in Santa Cruz.

This is something that arrived in The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music mailbox. - --Neile From: Bflyspirit@aol.com Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 12:21:22 EDT Subject: Re: Link Musicians & Fine Artists for World Peace Invite to a Musical Woodstock Peace Movement Born on the Wings of Butterflies It is said that a butterfly can, with a flap of its wings, change the world and that the ripple it sends out can spawn a hurricane. The butterfly initiative intends to do just that and become a catalyst for helping to cocreate a culture of world peace and global harmony. The butterfly could be the key to what we call the "paradigm shift." Our butterfly Earth Proclamation was endorsed by James Redfield and Dr. Paul Ray, coauthor of the book on Cultural Creatives. I am inviting you to discover how this project may be just what you have been looking for for a long time. We are collaborating with a consortium of groups and individuals to open up centers for peace, justice, and global healing all over the country, starting right here in the San Francisco Bay area. It will collectively house the Butterfly Gardeners Association, Performing and Fine Artists for World Peace, Project Chrysalis, Authors for a Positive Millennium, the Woodstock Nation Foundation, a nonviolence program for youth, a crisis program for women, a grief counseling program, a children's reading, gardening and environmental education program, and an indigenous support outreach among other things. Please reply and ask to subscribe to our email list. Otherwise you will not receive anymore correspondence from us. If you happen to live in the San Francisco Bay area, please let me know so you can get our local Party and Events listings too. We'll clue you in to the best political actions, vibes, festivals and gatherings around. Here is a brief overview. The Butterfly Gardeners Association seeks to foster an appreciation of butterflies, hummingbirds, dragonflies, and other lifeforms. We emphasize the need for conservation of natural habitats in our communities and around the world. Our programs promote the installation of butterfly gardens, children's environmental education, reading, and nonviolence programs. Project Chrysalis is a therapeutic program to bring performers, musicians, dancers, artists, clowns, story tellers, puppeteers, and mimes into hospitals, hospices, schools, juvenile youth facilities, senior centers and other institutions that can use joy and healing entertainment for adults as well as children. We also plan to use other therapies such as horticulture (butterfly gardening), drumming, healing touch and massage, comedy, and theater as well. We believe that love and caring can be powerful therapeutic tools. Patch Adams is honorary chairman of this effort. Musicians & Fine Artists for World Peace, an evolution of Performing and Fine Artists for World Peace, will be organizing events and concerts to support our environment and peace organizing. We will be working to support campaign and election reform, including the abolition or democratization of the Electoral College, supporting Congressman Kucinich's proposal for a cabinet level Department of Peace www.kucinich.net/home_detail1.asp?id=10 , reforming the criminal justice system and the three strikes law, making public defenders an elected position, corporate responsibility, raising global consciousness, supporting and developing sustainable communities, helping indigenous causes, increasing funding for art and music, and making life easier for artists and musicians who are an important ingredient to transforming and improving our lives. If you are a musician, artist, performer or in the entertainment field, please ask for more information and /or visit www.woodstocknation.org/Performing.htm Our Earth Proclamation was featured on James Redfield's Celestine Vision site. He thrilled us all by featuring the Earth Proclamation on his front page for about a month beginning in February 2000. I also would like to get your response to what I am sending you. We are a magically attuned world peace, environmental and spiritual network built on Synchronicity. Please let me know if this resonates with you. I have a whole collection of amazing stories, poetry, and happenings that people have been sharing. If you can endorse the Earth Proclamation and forward it and any other material from us to your email buddies, it would be very much appreciated. I have also coined a new meaning for the word butterfly, which used a verb means to give or teach someone the gift of looking at the world, as with butterfly eyes, and seeing only the beauty, love, and harmony in the world around them. If we can reach out and butterfly people all over the world, we may be heralding the dawn of a major paradigm shift and find ourselves living in the Butterfly Era of global civilization that author Norie Huddle envisions.

Scientists, in testing their theories, invariably find that the simplest, most elegant, most beautiful equation, is the correct one. Rainbows, butterflies, and the periodic table are some examples of intrinsic beauty. The world will be saved by beauty." (National Geographic Magazine) "We may . . . come to see them as embodying all the beauty and complexity of nature itself. It is said that a butterfly can, with a flap of its wings, change the world . . . that the ripple it sends out can spawn a hurricane." Our Earth Proclamation WE ARE ONE PEOPLE... WE SHARE ONE PLANET... WE HAVE ONE COMMON DREAM... WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE... WE CHOOSE TO PROTECT AND HEAL THE EARTH... WE CHERISH THE EARTH'S BIO AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY... WE WILL CHOOSE TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL... WE WILL BECOME STEWARDS FOR THE PLANET'S THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES... WE WILL DEFEND AND PROTECT THE RAIN FORESTS, REDWOODS, AND OTHER SACRED PLACES... WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE... WE WILL DO THIS FOR OUR CHILDREN, AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN... WE WILL TRANSFORM WHAT NEEDS TO BE TRANSFORMED... WE WILL BREAK FREE OF OUR CHRYSALIS LIMITATIONS... WE WILL JOYFULLY LOVE, SHARE, AND FORGIVE... SO THAT PEACE MAY PREVAIL ON EARTH! MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH!
