A FINGER POINTING AT THE MOON

(24/05/2022) (Solar Institute Bulletin No. 14) (From Leeds)

5 minutes post show, taking it all off 

Bonjourrrrrrrr to all the cuties in my e address book!!!!!!! It’s been two weeks and two days since the final curtain fell in the U.S. Feels both like ages ago and yesterday. I lay around in Santa Barbara for a few days after everyone went back, complete solitude feeling bizarro after five weeks of bus life, walking along the beach deep in thought about you. I can’t get over how generous and loving and supportive an audience you were each night. I’ve honestly never had such a good touring experience. I met Annie-B for a drink in New York and she kept talking about what she called the chanting, all of you singing every word of every song with me, it isn’t normal, all my colleagues whose first tour with us it is are in disbelief like, they really know EVERY word. You do. I’m so lucky to have you. Thankyou for coming — I’ll come again as soon as you’ll have me.

Some of Lauren’s pics from the last couple days — our first outdoor SP show 🌙😮‍💨

In the break, my priority was to rest. Two nasty sicknesses in two weeks and a gross wet cough hanging around, had to dry it out, get better for you. I didn’t fully rest, if I’m honest, there’s a fire lit under me at the moment, did some secret things in NY and LA for a week or so before getting to London last week. I get fucked by the jet lag coming this way every time, so I decided to be nice to myself for a change and fly a week early. I got in at midday, sun shining, arrived at the hotel feeling nauseous and corpse-adjacent, but I grabbed a sugar free Red Bull (it makes no sense to me that caffeine-wise I cannot drink so much as a strong black tea yet a RB gives me jitterless wings, deeply off brand but leaning in) and got on the move, walking fast, music in my ears, feeling this fizz of excitement growing being back in London finally after 3 (!!) years. I honestly had one of the best afternoons I’ve had all year, just walking with music loud in my headphones, the same thing I’ve been doing since I was a teen, still feeling as good as it ever did. Spent days like this, blissing out on the very specific UK energy of people in pubs, people playing football or sprawling out in the parks, a boy flying past me on a bike screaming “YASS METHOD ACTING” at dusk on a Wednesday, smoked mackerel salad at Cafe Deco. So happy to be stepping over British gobs of spit once more.

Jetlagged but joyful in london, a little magic trip out of town, before that 3 days in NY, bought this Balenciaga shirt what do u think

Me in Paris…. The ORIGINAL ‘can u reach me?’ queen

I’m feeling really good, really open. Possibility all around. Puuuumped for Europe. Can’t believe I’ll be seeing you all again, so special coming to your cities, each one so different and offering us so much in the way of food, art, language. Gonna try to sightsee as much as I can.I think you’re gonna fall in love with Marlon. If you haven’t heard his music before, start with Come To Me, Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore, his new song My Boy, Dark Child, and Vampire Again. Few tickets left for these shows.

THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE…………….IN VERY EXCITING NEWS WE ARE COMING TO MEXICO IN OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our shows are in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, and it would mean the world to me if you came!!! I adore playing in Mexico, and I’m so happy this is happening…. Think I’m gonna add some special mx-only setlist moments… watch this space… The tickets go onsale Monday May 30 at 11am your time, and the presale code is strangeairlines Reading Fleur Jaeggy’s Sweet Days Of Discipline, Ernaux’s A Girl’s Story, Saunders’ A Swim In a Pond In the Rain, which I bought when it came out and didn’t get round to but a friend is currently reading it and inspired me to get it out. Lauren gave me Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop by Danyel Smith which I’m hyped to hit next. VERY happy that Elif Batuman has released Either/Or, the follow-up to The Idiot, which you may remember me recommending previously. Suitcase is basically full of books at this point. I’m loving Kendrick. I cannot get over the most popular and influential artist in modern music displaying a working nervous system, admitting mistakes, trying to process intergenerational trauma and prejudice. I love the way the album opens, the pace and heat of the first few songs, and later Count Me Out, the build and strings in Auntie Diaries … special.

Checking in on my SCsWWtS… Look at Katia’s sunshine caprese, and Connor’s focaccia. SP as food is really a zone of great delight to me— always send these to Ophelia. 

Check out Alexander’s server who is a DEAD RINGER FOR ME????? 

Love seeing Seth’s merch on the beach — please send me pics of merch in nature this summer, I really love seeing it. Should add that i forgot to pack a cap on this trip and am wearing this cap every fucking day, kind of embarrassing, if you have an old cap you are parting with and think i’d like send me an email hahaha

Ash’s gorgeous tattoo, and a sliver of her Melo one above. 

DEVON CAME TO ELEVEN SHOWS ON THE U.S. RUN, THAT MUST BE SOME KIND OF RECORD, THANKYOU DEVON I AM NOT WORTHY!!! Alright, that’s all for now….. Leaving you with a paragraph from this brilliant New Yorker essay on parenting by Jia that’s staying with me: “The work demanded creativity and intuition: spending a day alone with my infant daughter reminded me of shepherding a friend through a first-time acid trip, continually gauging whether she needed to look at a flower, or listen to music, or sob for ten minutes, or be alone in the dark.” Can’t wait to be shepherding each other again in a few days. Loving you, always, forever, L xxxxxxx

Louis Tomlinson • World Tour 2022 • Guadalajara

12.06.2022

Another celebration to add, fans dressed up as fetus Louis, flowers in a 28 shape bouquet, taking a sip from a fan’s beer, lovely signs, love filling up the room, taking his audience in… everything we like to see in every Louis Tomlinson’s show.

Then there is his outfit, an Adidas suit, in BLUE BIRD color… 🥹 I can’t add anything else to this. How could I?? Blue bird, from all the colors… how is this even a color????

Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead has quickly become one of my most favorite traditions. My Grandparents retired down to Mexico not long before covid. In 2019, they suggested that we come out for the Dia de los Muertos celebrations. Jimmy always loves going to Mexico and I did some research, including watching the movie CoCo and I was in! Traditionally it is celebrated over a few days, sometimes starting on October 31st through the 2nd of November and sometimes November 1st through November 3rd. The tradition states that during these nights, the veil between the afterlife and our plane of existence is the weakest and that your loved ones (including pets), can come back to visit and celebrate with their friends and family that remember them. During this time, families will erect altars with their loved ones which include pictures, marigolds, candles, their favorite food & drinks, and a variety of things special to that individual. For instance, the family of one grave owner had set up chairs and were watching a soccer match around it. Some will have soccer balls and bottles of tequila or just be decorated in elaborate displays of flower arrangements. In addition to decorating and erecting altars, most towns have huge celebrations with parades, dancing, drinking, and general revelry. It truly is a celebration of those that have passed on and is a time to reminisce.

The first time we went, we stayed in Tlaquepaque just outside of Guadalajara. Everything was decorated in marigolds and skulls. Most places of business had altars set up for their loved ones covered in more marigolds and various offerings, like bread, tequila and fruit. At night, the streets were packed with La Catrina and El Catrin face painting, merrymaking, and parades. We came across beautiful chalk artwork and watched some parades. To say it was chaotic would be an understatement. As tourists, we weren’t really sure what we should do outside of enjoying amazing food, drinking tequila and painting our faces. We agreed that we would want to come and experience Dia de los Muertos with locals so that we could fully understand the celebration.

These are made of various sand, flowers, seeds, etc.

Several years and a pandemic pass and we decide to join my Grandparents to for a tour group traveling to Oaxaca for 6 days in 2022 during the celebration. When we arrived in Oaxaca it was as we would imagine, the locals were busy creating their altars and decorating for the celebration and the tourists were busy getting in the way. We stayed at the Oaxaca Real where their team was beginning to build an altar and decorate their doorways. We walked around the town and you could feel the energy as well as see where larger altars were being set up. On top of that, most squares were already starting to fill with vendors.

We found these paper mache decorations everywhere

One of many marigold decorations

We spent our first few days in Oaxaca enjoying great food and visiting some of the local towns, which I will talk about in Part 3 of this series. On the 30th Jimmy and I went out to find a local cocktail bar and imbibe on Mezcal drinks. What we quickly learned while in Oaxaca is that you would hear what sounded like a firework go off and then a band would start playing and a parade would start. We couldn’t see any real rhyme or reason for these parades, but they were always exciting. Sometimes it was about 50 people and other times it would be 300+. While we were sitting at our table, I heard one of these fireworks and a band, then a walking party came passing down the road of the bar that we were in.. Being the content creator that I am (totally joking), I walked to the door and started recording the parade. I made eye contact with a guy in a lucha libre wrestling mask and a huge bottle of Heineken. Apparently, he saw a blonde girl by herself (Jimmy had left for the bathrooms) and thought it was an invitation to make a beeline across the street and try and kiss me. Everyone is the bar was so stunned that we didn’t know what to do but laugh. It was hilarious and goes to show the bit of chaos that surrounds these parades.  

Typical parade with an appearance by my lucha libre friend!

On the 31st, Jimmy and I had a free afternoon from our tour group and decided to take advantage of our free time with a local food, drink and art tour. We met our new friend Peto and were off to check out the local graffiti, try some street food and drink more Mezcal. Since it was Dia de los Muertos, Peto decided to take us to the graveyard to see the decorations in action. Before entering the graveyard, Peto stopped by one of the vendors to buy two bouquets of Marigolds and explained that this was a celebration, but should also be taken seriously.. He explained that since we were going into the graveyard, we should look for graves that weren’t being decorated and “adopt” a couple. The idea here being that as long as a soul is remembered, they continue to live on, so by us “adopting” an undecorated gravestone, we allow a soul to continue living on. This would allow the spirit of the inhabitant to come and visit and celebrate for the holiday. We walked around for a while in awe of the decorations and the various gravestones and mausoleums and the drastic disparity in wealth, even in the graveyard. I spotted a gravestone that looked like it hadn’t been visited in awhile and had a few cracks in the concrete and laid down my bouquet. Peto asked me what the name was, and we took a moment of silence to think about Ernesto and then said, “See you later Ernesto!” Writing this now, my description doesn’t seem to carry much significance. However in the moment and surrounded by the solemn festivities, it felt significant and spiritual. I definitely got a bit choked up, and while the act was small, it still felt really impactful. Jimmy adopted Aurelio and we went through the same process. As we exited the graveyard, you couldn’t help but feel both somber and excited for the night. There were so many families that had set up chairs next to their family members and you could tell they were sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company.

These cute flags were found over many streets

We loved running into these artist made altars

Later that night, we rejoined our tour and visited the oldest graveyard in Oaxaca. The graveyard was much smaller than the one we had seen earlier in the day, but was covered in flowers, candles and families reminiscing. The vibrant oranges, purples and pinks were just stunning in the candlelight. The community had ensured that every gravestone had at least a few petals, but we still found a gravestone that wasn’t decorated beyond those petals and laid down a bouquet and lit a candle. Held a moment of silence and told Florencio hasta luego!

The last night of the celebration, we made our way to Jalatlaco with our group, where we were promised a huge parade and celebration. They had a huge stage set up in their square and had a MC that appeared to be trying to raise money. Like most things in Mexico, the parade did not start on time. When it did, it was 50 people at most but, boy, was everyone having a great time! It was our last night, so we made it back to the cocktail bar that Peto had taken us to for a night cap a few days earlier. Within 10 minutes of our arrival we saw the biggest parade of the week go by. It was well organized and had at least 500 participants with massive bands and fireworks that would have gotten the ATF’s attention in the states. It was the perfect ending of Dia de los Muertos.
