Vodu is a Fon-Ewe word meaning spirit, or deity. Vodun is God or Great Spirit. This supreme creator was an all-powerful, unknowable, creative force represented as the giant snake carrying the universe in its coils. He's John Lee Hooker's Crawling Kingsnake. The Voodoo rite of possession by the god became the standard of American performance in rock'n'roll. 

Come join Reality Sandwich and Jivamukti Yoga School this Saturday for a benefit concert to help the endangered bonobos. 

Bonobos and people share 98.4% of their DNA. Bonobos look more like humans than other apes, and display many behavioral similarities as well. In this interview, Wynne Paris discusses these endangered apes and the May 31 benefit performance he's organizing for the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI).

The URB ALT festival is a "home for the conservative, the freak, the academics, the mutts, the rockers, the punks, the hip hoppers and all variants thereof."
