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 on Stanford Storytelling Project – Palo Alto, CA
Almost a year ago when I was visiting some friends in Palo Alto I was interviewed for the Stanford Storytelling Project (interestingly it was the day before I was on West Coast Live). If you have time to listen to the whole hour-long show, it is worth it (click here). Or just check out the excerpt…

Bay Area – Spring!
It had been way too long since Edna and I had spent much time in the Bay Area. Other than one day at Occupy Oakland, it had been over a year, and even then it was a short visit. So many friends live in the Bay that in order to see as many as we…

Old Polka Madre Videos
A day or so after I bought Edna Lu the tea bus (early 2008), I picked up a gypsy polka band called Polka Madre. Their van had broken down in Mexico and they needed to get to their gigs up the coast. I gave them a ride from LA to SF, where I had my…
