[Steve Dulson ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2015 21:13:49 +0200 From: ingrid lochrenberg Subject: jonifest 2016-NJC i have an admission to make: if i can get a canadian visa i'd surely be over my greatest obstacle and i'll be at the next jonifest with the other lucky attendees.. truth is i went from cape town, south africa, to los angeles in a manic flight (almost like "this flight tonight"on laurie's songs of shadow, songs of light) and was going to walk to joni's garden gate (bad news comes knocking at your garden gate...). this is what madness can lead you to do. i had the most savage reception at L.A. when i couldn't get into the country because of having no address or phone number for joni, who i said was my mother. thank goodness it saved joni from having to deal with a lunatic.....(i certainly thought 'for sure i'd see her').well, i spent a few days in an american asylum after having endured such savage reception in that illustrious city...i went to, in my mind, tell joni that all would be well for her, and that i'm working on changing the tide of time....which i am secretly doing here amid my maths books and my music in the african moonlight. i truly have way-out hopes and dreams and thoughts. it is not easy when you feel it is your destiny to change the tide of time....but it has some promise of redemption down-the-line. i was posted back on another flight to heathrow, where i endured further captivity.....as you can tell i wasn't well. i am the official madman here on jmdl i think. i just am imparting that this illness is like dreaming wide awake and the more outlandish a thought that presents itself to you is, the more likely you are to run with it. ...for all my accusations toward the psychiatric establishment, i now can not survive without their medicine....not after 30 years of being on it. to beat it all i picked up hair lice and came back with it "all the way from america"! they revoked my 10 year american visa for five years. now i can just plead with some official with a heart, and ask to be forgiven for having this illness. and so, i am going to be well on my meds and i will do my utmost to attend, in canada, and be my very best person there. thank you for a whole year's warning. in the meantime i will practise my guitar in case of a request to play something. i'm not trying to cause embarrassment here on jmdl, ...just explaining myself somewhat at the risk of some feeling distaste. i hope that if i one day achieve my way-out dreams, joni will have benefitted from these struggles and tribulations of mine. i just wish she could know that there is someone irrational and brave enough to think she can get right where others failed. and so,to end the post, if i can obtain a canadian visa, i will be there!! i'll practise 'song to a seagull' so that i can perhaps play it there. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 13:46:47 -0400 From: Steve Dulson Subject: 20th Anniversary JoniFest... Michele and I are in! And as the other Steve D. said, check out the seaplane option. We flew Harbour Air out of Victoria (the seaplane dock is steps from the Empress Hotel), and it is SO COOL! But I am a plane geek.:) (Michele, check out the link below.) > Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 16:46:35 -0600 > From: Les Irvin > Subject: 20th Anniversary JoniFest... > > Joniphiles, > > September of 2016 marks the 20th Anniversary of the JMDL.
