i was hung on Wednesday night at burning man
as a part of a ritual to bring kali energy into the thunderdome ....there is so much fierce male energy in the dome that it was nice to bring in some demon goddess energy to even it out
thank you so much to steve and the rest of the core crew for making it the most calm and healing moment I've ever had

video to come soon

By Request: Spoken part from the Seattle show "MY HELL"

SteveJoyner — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 05:39:55 GMT

I have received numerous request asking for me what I said in the "MY HELL" show in Seattle. Since the audience was loud, there was distortion on my mic., and I've been asked numerous times I've decided to post what was written prior to the show and what I used as my lines.
I've also had a few people try to comfort me around what was spoken that evening. I just want to put it out there..... that even though I appreciate the support..... I was playing a character that evening. The story does not exactly explain my life. My life was much easier than my characters.

My friend Marc17 took these pictures... <a href="http://www.voltagemagazine.com/galleries/core/">"voltagemagazine"</a><br>
We also have picts. coming from Circle 23 but we have not received them as of yet. I'll post more asap.
Thank you all for supporting CoRE and we hope to see you in the near future.

"MY HELL"

~Cenobites are performing center of audience and musicians are playing~
**black out center audience** ** Cenobites move through audience and approach
main stage** ** Myself and main Cenobite enter main stage**

This is the last thing I saw before THEY came....(looks at throne) .... This throne was built for my Ego....(shed clothing, sit on throne)...

BUT, it wasn..t always this way.

It all started with my lack of family. Yes, I had a father, a mother, brothers, and sisters....but....there wasn..t Love.
**attach hook to heart area**

My family was like cellmates existing under the same roof until age allowed us to escape, social retards being released into the horrid world with no empathy for mankind.

From a young age my father taught me what a great escape alcohol is, no matter how bad your job sucks, no matter how far you are in debt, no matter how fucked up your spouse is.. the bottle is always there to comfort you.
** attach hook to liver area**

and comfort me it did.
**motion taking a drink of alcohol**

It gave me what I mistook to be courage..enabling me to fight all that was negative and evil in my life.
But more times than not the liquid courage caused more harm than good. It allowed me to stand up and fight anyone...my father, the asshole at the bar, or even those who considered themselves friends.
**attach hooks to arm(R) and leg(L)**

With confidence comes power... And I learned you do not have to beat people into submission to get your way.

I perfected the art of the ..mind fuck.. and became a master at changing my friends into my minions.
The skill of manipulation became such second nature that I lost everyone around me.. even those that called themselves friends. With no challenge remaining I was forced to seek satisfaction elsewhere.
**attach hook to neck(R)**

Venturing into the world once more I stalked the bars, the clubs, and the internet looking for the next potential puppet to control.
Just mentally controlling wasn..t enough.. I added pure physical domination.
The raw urge for sexual control became an invigorating release. Sleeping with women..men..children..and even the occasional animal seemingly satisfied my craving for sex.
**attach hook to testicles(L)**

But like the act itself, this was short-lived.. leaving me struggling to find something to indulge the emptiness.
And thus I found the needle, for as much comfort as the bottle had been..
Heroin was a true escape...
**motion injecting heroin(L)**

.. to feel the power of control over existence, was exhilarating! Not just my own mere life but that of every man, women, child, and creature in my presents.
**attach hook to arm(L)**

My EGO.. this monster I created now controlled everything I am.
**attach hooks in back(4)**

I felt like a God..

the ultimate power..

the master of my own destiny.....

.... and then THEY came to show me just how right I was.....

** Black out**
**suspend**
**pull throne**
**tighten 550 cords**
**strobes** cenobites dancing on sides of box
** black out ** 3 sec.
**fade in red godlight** 3 to 5 sec. pause
...THIS IS ..MY HELL.. 3 to 5 sec. pause
**black out-end of show**

Hook layout:
-------------

Family - Heart

Alcoholism .. Liver

Violence .. Leg (L), Arm (R)

Manipulation - Neck (R)

Sex .. Testicles (L)

Heroin .. Arm (L)

Ego .. Vertical Back (4)

Ascend Tribal Dance & CoRE perform together this Sat. the 23rd in Glendale,Ca.

SteveJoyner — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 08:00:23 GMT

Ascend Tribal Dance & CoRE perform as wicked fairy folk of the forest who meet the seemingly angelic brethren of the skies in a joining of dance, song, demise, and theatrical suspension!

Xatrian Crux is a LARP "Live Action Role Playing" (audience participation & impromptu, interactive live theater) event, which combines in-depth roleplay with live-combat possibilities, and allows for all attendees, new players and characters, as well as established characters from other LARPS, to play together...."The majority of characters, from other worlds and dimensions, have arrived via invitation pods sent from the owner of Xatrian Crux himself." This brings everyone together in a kind of 'LARP cross-over', within a pocket dimension where the rules shift just enough to become unpredictable, yet familiar enough to allow for the ease of interaction among the attendees.

so cal bme bbq

lowerfrenum — Thu, 11 May 2006 14:40:33 GMT

im reposting from my bme email thought you guys might like to know

sorry if youre getting this again, wanted to make sure i got everyone!

Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for! It's now time to announce the 6TH ANNUAL IAM/BME SOCAL BBQ, MEET, AND FREAKATHON!!! Yes, it's been six years running, and contrary to rumor, we're doing this AGAIN! We're hoping that this year's BBQ will be bigger, better, and cooler in every way, including the usual craziness (the traditional Trivia contest and give away, the "Run Like A Spaz" competition, people fucking in the trees, pinatas, drunkeness, sex tents, food, silliness, lots of guests, pulls, and Dave acting the fool). Write this date down NOW: August 5, 2006 @ around 10:30 am 'til the cows come home. That's when this shindig is going DOWN, and it will be at the usual location, the lovely Presido Park, San Diego, Californication. Get there early for prime parking and early starts on seeing Dave act like a complete tardo. More details will follow, including Mapquest data, lists of stuff to bring, "rules (not damn many)," etc. This year, I'll be getting help running the show from the amazing modifiedgirl, SnaiLuv, and Midian2000, amongst others, I'm sure. ANY offers for help will NOT be turned down. Right now, off the top of my head, I need to ask for one of you vegan/veggie people to volunteer to bring a BBQ for the non-meatatarians to cook on. Can someone help with that? Also, I'd love to have a DJ this year, but power is an issue; so, anyone (A) care to spin and have the equipment and/or (B) have a portable generator? Like I said, more details to follow, but PLEASE feel free to ping me, Modifiedgirl, Snailuv, or JPriest78 if you have ANY questions and/or concerns. Get ready for fun folks, 'cause we're gonna do this AGAIN! BTW, there is a RUMOR of a post-BBQ orgy at Dave's place. I will neither deny nor confirm this piece of event data.
Forum!!

OH YEAH, DON'T FORGET, PLEASE, TO ADD ONE OF THE TRULY AMAZING BUTTONS THAT SNAILUV CREATED FOR US THIS YEAR TO YOUR PAGE! ARE THEY NOT FUCKING AWESOME?!? ALSO, THERE WILL BE SHIRTS THIS YEAR! FUCKING A THERE WILL BE! SHIRTS CAN BE ORDERED DIRECTLY FROM CAFE PRESS AT THE FOLLOWING URL: http://www.cafepress.com/bmebbq2006 or here CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW INCREDIBLY ORGANIZED WE ARE THIS YEAR?!? ORDER YOUR SHIRTS ASAP AND WEAR THEM PROUDLY TO THE EVENT, AND YOU WILL WIN FREE, YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT...***FREE***...GROPAGE FROM YOURS TRULY.

Moves and Transitions I:

In this workshop you will discuss and learn the fundamentals of Tribal Fusion Bellydance; proper posture and technique, specific moves and transitions, leading and following, group improvisation, dance expression, and costuming. Proper posture includes positioning of the pelvis, utilization of the transverse abdominis and solar plexus, lifting of the shoulders and chest and placement of arms and hands. Techniques we will review include posture as is related to execution of a moves such as hip drops, pelvic locks, taxim, mayas, amis, shimmy walk, standing shimmy, torso rotations, chest circles, arm movements. We will also learn new moves and the cues, which signify transitions between moves such as the Egyptian Basic, reach and sit, choo choo, Tunisian, Turkish shimmy, Arabic, Arabic hip twist, lightening turn and more. Once these aspects are established, we will then learn the fundamentals of leading and following, group improvisation and dance expression such as making cues visible but not obvious, thinking and dancing at the same time, and maintaining a “vibe” between dancers to create the ability to dance together without cues. All levels are welcome. www.ascendtribaldance.com
