Well, I’m not sure if I’m actually revisiting it since I’m still here (for another few hours) but here’s the rest of my trip. Met some cool new people and a cool old one too. Not old as in old, just — well, you know what I’m trying to say (right Scot?).

Octavia Butler … peace and rest

Rest in Uhuru, Octavia.

As I said farewell to another year I realized there was so much left unsaid… so much footage left unseen… I thought of doing a wrap-up of the year, but instead I will leave you with some of the B-sides – clips that time almost forgot, but now have received another chance for glory.
