Interzone report of July 21st 2002

Hi all,

First of all, one sad news : I got a mail from a friend of Mungo 23 http://profiles.yahoo.com/mungo23 informing he had died one week before. Mungo was a member of the Interzone Coffee House. He had built a dreamachine, and had sent mails about the way he was doing it http://www.inter-zone.org/mungodm.html .
Then, one thing which happened in the Zone this month : Grape and Solace met through a Zone club and started to live together some months ago. Shortly after this, Grape had a brain operation . Recently, they got married. On July the 2th, Grape went to the hospital in the evening and then came back home. The next day, she needed a doctor in emergency and Solace called 911 to get an ambulance. Instead, the police came and threw both of them in jail, took the medicines away from Grape, and convinced them of criminal domestic violence, without them having complained . Grape was locked in a cell, where she spent the night , she was insulted, treated as a whore and a junky. She will be wearing a brace for the rest of her life on her left leg. The nerve damage done when she was having seizures in her cell is too severe to heal.

Solace gave an account of these events in the club; they were both choked. He could not eat nor sleep , felt guilty for calling the ambulance, and could not stand to be accused of a crime he did not commit . The pressure was so strong that he flew away to England. Grape is shocked.

This happened in Pickens County , where it comes out that the police is used to this kind of behavior.

This is not the first time people in the Zone living in US are relating prejudices they suffered from the police, when they had not committed any crime nor done anything to anybody. It is edifying to see how US citizens are treated in their own country, and full of teachings for the citizens of other countries, who can confront the image US gives of itself in the rest of the world, with the facts actually happening. For those citizens, the "American dream " has turned into a nightmare.

Vasha and Vadimas are back in Lithuania. Since, they have been establishing a number of contacts : their group, SALA contributed the track called-"sick fragmented Moonbeen" of a compilation-CD with Arno Breker, a German artist.

Meetings in Ruigoord :

I have been 3 days to Ruigoord http://www.ruigoord.nl/, where I met for the first time Rasta Robert http://rasta.www.cistron.nl/ . Rasta is in the Zone since the start and we have been corresponding since 5 years. He also is familiar with Ruigoord as he started to give his first didjeridu concerts there when he was still a teen-ager.

I brought a dreamachine which will stay there.

I also interviewed Grazyna, Hans Plomp's girl-friend, who cured herself from leukemia in finding ways to restore health. She is correcting it and adding references, and it will be ready next month.

We shall go to the festival, from 22nd to 25th August. Rasta will give a concert: he is planning to make some tapes with binaural beats for acoustical brainwave entertainment and with planetary tones for use with the dream machine in a darkened tent during the festival, also at some times will be playing live sounds with didjeridu and there also will be someone playing Tibetan singing bowls. Patrice will be there too. If anybody wants to come, let me know.

Real estate: http://www.inter-zone.org/realestate.html

Concerning Patrice's house in France, which he wants to dedicate to a community aim , we are going to visit it in August. At the moment , the most of it is still rented; a small flat is unoccupied, as well as a big attic and three small rooms. This might be the start of a real physical Zone. :) More next month.
