\"Spring<\/a>

Spring Cleaning!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today is a big day! Not only is it the first day of Spring, but it marks 6 years since the day I bought Edna and the one year mark of our Two+ Year North American Tour<\/a>. According to plan, we\u2019ve been traveling at a comfortable pace \u2013 sometimes fast, sometimes slow; visiting many new communities, as well as familiar ones; and making tea at all types of places \u2013 from the Pacific Crest Trail<\/a> to Hollywood Blvd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Planting<\/a>

Planting a tree in front of the Giving Garden in Santa Monica, CA.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the first few months of this tour we struggled with finding the balance of no plans, but seeking to accomplish things as well. And finally, I believe, we have found this. Since leaving the more familiar North West Coast, we\u2019ve been graced with many opportunities to sink or swim with the ebb and flow of our adventures. The harshness of the big city environment of Los Angeles (endless parking meters, anti-camping laws, no biodiesel, etc.) gave us an opportunity to swim against the current. And we made it out alive. Just 5 years ago, Los Angeles was an easier beast for us. What happened? Are we softer for our time spent in easier communities? Did LA change? Some of our certain parking spots were gone, leaving us with harder guerilla camping and higher dependency on friends, new and old. In the midst of this, however, we continued to make tea for folks, find and participate in beautiful communities, and figure out where we could take a rest.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A whole crew of wonderful folks on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach, CA.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our trip since Winter Solstice<\/a> brought us down from Nevada City, through the central valley of California, into Ojai for a stint<\/a>, and on to Los Angeles. For much of the beginning of this trip, my dear friend Ally accompanied us, bringing her own vibe to the journey and tea parties. We went back to Hollywood Blvd<\/a> \u2013 the place where it all started. We relearned the city, driving the old roads, finding new ones. We took rest in the shade of the trees of Griffith Park, and made a trek to visit my grandparents. In between our trip down to Laguna Beach for the Terra Vita Herbalism Symposium<\/a>, we stopped places like Costa Mesa, Harbor City, San Pedro, Monrovia, Pasadena, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and more. Each of these places offered a different experience. In Venice, we made tea on Abbot Kinney for a wonderful crowd. In Santa Monica, we participated in a wonderful community called the Giving Garden, where we connected with some wonderful folks and lent a hand at (trying) to fix some things.<\/p>\n

\"Students<\/a>

Students at the Anneliese School in Laguna Canyon, CA.<\/p><\/div>\n

At the Terra Vita Herbalism Symposium<\/a>, we were invited to stay one extra day at the Anneliese School<\/a> by some of the school\u2019s directors in order to spend some time with the 5th<\/sup> and 6th graders. And boy, what a blast! After gathering all the 5th <\/sup>and 6th<\/sup> graders into one classroom (about 30 of them), I started sharing about what I do with the tea bus. There were lots of words like whoa <\/i>and cool<\/i> floating around the classroom. And 6 by 6, we went out to the bus for tea. I told them about and showed them some of the cool things, like the solar electric system, waste vegetable oil system, wood stove, hot water heated by waste engine heat, etc. Afterwards we gathered back in the classroom for some Q&A. I was blown away by how interested the students were. Many of them spent their recess with me and they invited me to share lunch with them. Afterwards, the 5th<\/sup> graders and their sweet teacher spent part of their class in Edna playing mystery games. Other than the heart-warming but silly request of many of the students for an autograph, the kindest gift was from a student named Drew, who made a Magic (the Gathering) card with a picture of me on it, cup of tea in hand, and Edna in the background (50\/50 creature, one forest manna to summon, He uses tea for fun. He gives free tea and is super EPIC<\/i>).<\/p>\n

\"Tea<\/a>

Tea time in Monrovia, CA for their Friday Night Festival.<\/p><\/div>\n

My dear friend Edward (who taught me to weld, and helped build my roof rack when I first bought Edna) suggested I head out one of these Fridays to Monrovia for their weekly Friday Night Festival<\/a> \u2013 a street fair with music, food, and art. Having a love for these kinds of events, I couldn\u2019t resist. Immediately upon arrival, a charismatic fellow named Jeremy took a liking to the bus. Instant buddy! And upon asking, the local board shop welcomed the tea bus to park out front, and even put out a message on their networks for folks to come on down and get some free tea.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I get gifted a massage for all my hard tea serving work.<\/p><\/div>\n

What started as a slow evening became an amazing night with a group of young adults who call themselves \u201cThe Family.\u201d Self-described social outcasts, this group has created their own community that has flourished, reaching numbers in the 30s or 40s at times, though there are core members who help stitch the crew together. The Friday Night Festival has served as their meeting place, and brings them out each week. Stumbling upon the tea bus, they couldn\u2019t help but get drawn so deeply in to the concept, construction, and lifestyle behind it all. By the end of the night, with many questions asked, many cups of tea drunk, and a bunch of happy folks, they had decided on potentially purchasing their own bus \u2013 figuring out who would be the mechanic, who would build things, etc. We arrived back in Monrovia a few weeks later for another Friday event. Again, what started slow turned into another beautiful night.<\/p>\n

\"Myself<\/a>

Myself riding one of Edwards Frankenbikes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Amongst our Monrovia street adventures, we spent time at the house Edward and his wife, Robin. They welcomed us to park out front, offered food and showers, fresh homegrown produce and avocados, and even let me work on a wood-working project in his shop \u2013 the build-out of my Gift and Take area (blog entry on this to come). I have to say, that after much time apart, true friends are ones as such. Edward was just as excited to be a part of the tea bus\u2019 evolution this time around as he was 5+ years ago. We jive wonderfully and tend to bounce creative ideas off each other. A burner, bike Frankensteiner, and a builder\u2026 A true gem!<\/p>\n

Amongst the journeys around So Cal, we were invited to come and participate with one of our favorite organizations. We love Common Vision<\/a> because they are the world\u2019s largest vegetable-oil-powered caravan, planting fruit trees at schools with kids. In the past, I\u2019ve been on tour with, and worked on many video projects for them. This time around I created a fun little 3-minute video to highlight their orchards as living classrooms. In between all the work, I was able to be part of this community, sharing space, food, and several tea parties with all the good folks traveling on the bus, and living at the Sugar Shack \u2013 the LA home base for Common Vision. Love you guys!<\/p>\n

\"Common<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

In Long Beach, where we stopped a few times, we served tea multiple times at the FREE YOGA<\/a> that takes place on the bluff every day<\/i>. Inspired to create larger access for an often-pricey class, Dharma started teaching free yoga on the bluff. What started small grew quite large and serves up to 70 or so folks on the weekends. It was a pleasure to meet many of these folks, and especially Dharma and Radharani \u2013 both of them instructors. When I served there on a weekend, it was so busy I had a line more than 30 people long. I couldn\u2019t make tea fast enough \u2013 especially since I was making iced tea! Thank you for providing a gift for the community! It is amazing to see other projects similar to the tea bus out there.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/a>

On a Tuesday, we served tea at Long Beach\u2019s Bixby Park Farmers\u2019 Market. We pulled up to the side of the park and opened our doors, only to hear from our new friend Arturo (from Communitea Culture<\/a>) that the health inspector was there. I hesitated leaving the FREE TEA sign out. I decided that an interaction with a health official was something that I needed to experience. With the steady stream of people coming in to the bus, I kept my eye out for the inspector (scanning for a clipboard). As I was chatting with a guest, he appeared.<\/p>\n

\"Arturo<\/a>

Arturo of Communitea Culture in Long Beach pours tea at the Farmer’s Market.<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you have a health permit for this?<\/i><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know I needed one for making friends and inviting them into my house for tea!<\/i><\/p>\n

He was a very reasonable man, but still wanted me to shut down. I assured him throughout our conversation that I was taking my signs down, but that I wanted to know what law said I needed a permit. As I understood it, California Retail Food Code (CalCode) stated very clearly that \u201cprivate homes\u201d were not, indeed, Food Establishments, and therefore did not require a health permit. He said that signs offering tea to strangers made it public, but that I should come down to the health department and chat with them, as this was not an end-all-be-all circumstance. I obliged, and shut down.<\/p>\n

After spending more time researching CalCode, I found the laws that govern Food Establishments. The relevant ones:<\/p>\n

114381.\u00a0 (a) A food facility shall not be open for business without a valid permit.<\/p>\n

113789 (c) “Food facility” does not include any of the following: (2) A private home.<\/p>\n

113758\u00a0 (6) \u201cPrivate home\u201d means a dwelling, including an apartment or other leased space, where individuals reside.<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/a>

Project time in Harbor City at Jon’s.<\/p><\/div>\n

It seems pretty straight forward to me\u2026 What I do, does not require a health permit in the State of California, unless county or city law says otherwise. I could not find any law for the City of Long Beach that does\u2026 I was hoping to get a chance to stop by the Long Beach Health Department on my way back through, but didn\u2019t get a chance.<\/p>\n

On our way through, we stopped in Harbor City twice, where my good college friend Jon bought a house. This provided us with a perfect place to home-base ourselves. Jon, working 65 hours a week as a lawyer, had written months ago wanting to bring more things into his life like serving free tea and planting fruit trees. And so I came! His big vision includes creating a community space for town hall meetings, and free legal advice on weekends.<\/p>\n

\"Gifted<\/a>

Gifted tea cup at San Pedro Art Walk.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our first evening together, we took a drive just down the road to San Pedro\u2019s monthly art walk<\/a>. I convinced him to keep the suit on he had been wearing for court, and I put on mine \u2013 tie and all \u2013 to go serve tea in. A rare rainy evening made it slow. But often that can bring a deeper sense of genuineness to tea parties. People who come in are likely to stay longer, sip more tea, and connect better with the fewer people who are there. We met a couple who had built a sauna in a trailer, some high-schoolers, and more. A kind woman who makes amazing teacups offered us one as a token of appreciation.<\/p>\n

When I arrived back in Harbor City a couple weeks later, I set up shop in Jon\u2019s back parking area. It was perfect to do some tinkering with my waste vegetable oil system\u2026 There was cement, power, a roof to store some tools and parts under, and a good friend who needed a hand with a few things. During this time, Ally came back down for a short visit before her big trip across the nation. A true friend Ally has become, and like her namesake, she has become an amazing ally.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The few projects I was attempting (building and installing a new WVO filter and hose-in-hose setup, up-sizing the hose that feeds my centrifuge, replumbing my clean WVO to include its own pump, etc) couldn\u2019t take more that three days, or so I thought. I ended up underneath my bus for a week and a half, with everything going wrong that possibly could. Phew, that was exhausting. A HUGE thanks to Jon for letting me work on these projects at his house. What a bro!<\/p>\n

Now we reside in Trobuco Canyon \u2013 a wonderful sanctuary amongst the madness of Orange County. I\u2019m here to make a couple short films for an awesome nature-based educational non-profit called EarthRoots Field School<\/a>. It\u2019s been a blessing to be brought into a community of wonderful folks, to a place I can call home, even if briefly, to share meals and land. Thank you, Jodi, Adam, and Willow!<\/p>\n

On the full moon Edna and I crept out to the beach for a full moon drum circle, which was a blast!<\/p>\n

Today was a wonderful day. I got to sleep in for the first time in a while, so it was nice to be warm and snuggley inside Edna for a couple extra hours. Once I finally roused, I spent the day giving Edna love in the form of Spring cleaning on her inside \u2013 starting at the top, and working my way down. I only got to window level, but I\u2019ll continue to clean her over the next week while I\u2019m here in Trobuco Canyon editing. In the evening we had a potluck\/equinox gathering here at Jodi, Adam, Willow, and Alan\u2019s place with just 10 or 15 people. Tea, food, fire, story-telling \u2013 a wonderful way to spend the first day of Spring, and Edna\u2019s (re)birthday. Here\u2019s to the more years to come of tea tour!<\/p>\n
