  • Summer Update – Arcata, CA

    Well, our West Coast Tour has been shaken up a bit. After receiving news of a family emergency, Edna and I cruised on up to Arcata to be with family. This means that we probably wont be making it to the Bay Area/Sonoma/Mendocino this time around (sorry folks! It makes us sad too.). But hey,…

  • Autumn Update – Arcata, CA

    When you have no strict itinerary, there’s a lot of wiggle room. And I like it! I left Portland and headed straight to my Wilderness First Responder course (see blog entry here)  knowing only that I was going to see my new nephew in Arcata afterwards (see Summer Update). I thought I might come right back…

  • Summer Update – 3 months of Tour – Arcata, CA

    It’s been an interesting one, folks. Three months ago Edna (the teabus) and I started a 2+ North American Tour with no itinerary. The plan has been to have no plans, allowing us to roam the country with no obligations and the freedom to go and stay where we find the most appealing. However, this ‘no…

  • Tea Bus in Video about Arts Alive! – Eureka, CA

    Arts Alive has become such a part of our experience when we’re in Northern California. I’m stoked to be a part of this community.

  • News Update – Tours Announced

     Well Hello! It has been a while, yes it has. A lot is new: many-a-tea parties have been happening, working on the bus still in Eureka, making some exciting plans. For one, we are gearing up for some big events and travels. Here’s a list of some tentative upcoming tea serving: –       7/2 Sat –…

  • Traveling with Tea and Lightfoot – WA to CA

    It was a hectic last couple weeks at the shop on Orcas. I was packing up all my tools, building materials, doing some repairs on my horse trailer, welding, cutting, grinding, drilling, and on top of that my good nomadic friend Lily was visiting. Lily’s visit came just in time for her to cruise down…

  • Springtime Journey – Northern CA to WA

    Oh, and what a journey it was! A little break time in Shelter Cove at the house of the Andrews Family –  a great crew of folks who have helped me immensely with the bus and keeping me fed, showered, and well-loved. I can’t think of a better way to start a journey than spending…

  • Leaving Town – Eureka, CA

    After spending the winter serving tea every Tuesday on the Arcata Plaza we had made many new tea sipping friends, and plenty of the old ones were still kicking around as well. We set up at Arts Alive with the MARZ project at the smaller plaza in downtown Eureka. They set up interactive music, art,…

  • Anarchist Book Fair – Manila, CA

      This was the beginning of a 16 hour, 3 event tea serving day. Whew, exhausting… I was actually surprised at how few people at this fair came to drank tea. I thought that of all people, it would be anarchists that understood best what I am doing – bottom up, grassroots, no permission from…

  • Contention and Compassion at Arts Alive! – Eureka, CA

    I had just told someone that I have never been asked to leave anywhere for serving tea in the 3 and a half years that I have been serving tea (okay, just once by the police on Hollywood Blvd.). I guess I didn’t knock on wood, and I got the police called on me. I…
