A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    My beautiful home right there (not the little swamp, I meant NorCal, duuuh)

    Speaking of Alta California, i’ve been wanting to try doing a suspension, or even a pulling, but have no idea who I should get in contact with. If anyone who’s a part of that scene in the Bay Area, or anyone traveling through who wouldn’t mind an open minded newcomer, I would love to be a part of whatever it is you’re doing. Send me an email, and i’ll be the happiest kid on earth: [email protected]

    Up in the tipity-top left corner….is that a girl with a yellow dress and a head like a rolled up sleeping bag hanging from the trees?

    Or is it time for medication again? The people in the white coats can be very nice at times….

    Mike – I’m pretty sure that’s the rigging for the suspension, but maybe the suspension fairy showed up…
