Denver to Kansas City
Black gold, Texas Kansas tea Driving across Kansas is an experience I’ve done a few times already. You’d think I’d learn other routes by now. I kept the radio off and the windows down and the humidity slowly increased as I began leaving Colorado. I teetered between fretful thoughts, fearing my return and the disarray…

Salt Lake City to Denver
Leaving Utah The drive through the mountains from Utah to Wyoming was pretty dang easy. The mountains, though steep, were not very curvy. Nice gradual roads. Once in Wyoming, the skies opened up to beautiful blues and wonderful clouds. Dang, I really enjoy going through this state. If I had something solid there, I’d move…

Carson City to Salt Lake
The sunset before Salt Lake So driving across Nevada was, um, kinda boring. Entering into Utah was equally, um, kinda boring… but the salt flats were neat. With the sun setting it started to get very interesting. I got into Salt Lake, having no preconceived notion as to what to expect. I got there, found…

CA in the rearview mirror
Yosemite I slept soundly in San Jose. At some point one of ‘s kitties checked me out as the cool breeze came through the window. The cat got bored and let me catch up on some snoozing after good spirits and a full tummy at the Aqui Cal-Mex Grill. Cal-Mex? *shrug* I don’t question these…

The Boardwalk
Suckers for the photos after the rollercoaster ride is over… Recovery from Dore “Up Your Alley” Fair was relatively painless. We got in somewhat early after bar hopping and slept soundly. Today we ventured to Santa Cruz to hang out at the Boardwalk amusement park thingy where Lost Boys was filmed. The drive down was…

Ameoba
FunkyBear dips into the rock section Went to the Haight and avoided the Gap. Bought too many useless knick-knacks and t-shirts. Met up with Martin. Ate crepes and heard folks argue in French. Then, there was Amoeba. They actually didn’t have everything I was looking for, but they had a helluva lot I wasn’t. Art…

SF Day 3
An Academy of Art student draws a sculpture A leisurely day. Started off touring the inside of Our Lady of The Maytag church, then headed down to Lands End in the park to have the Golden Gate completely obscured by fog. Good hike though. Headed over to the Legion of Honor Museum. A bunch of…

Laundry in the Tenderloin
$1.50 to wash, $1.00 to dry Laundry is cheaper here than Lander Wyoming. There’s nothing better than having a clean pair of jeans. Spent the day going to commercial art galleries. The public library is neato here. Lunch in Chinatown. Napped. Bumped into Martin at the Lone Star intently watching Reno 911. Ended up gabbin…

Trannyshack, Lone Star and a whole lot more
Crowd surfin to Nina Hagen Photo courtesy of Bearzbub Art and I headed out after briefly settling in and hit the Castro. First time I’ve ever really walked down that area. It was colorful. Spent way too much money on a t-shirt, then headed over to the Edge for happy hour and met up with…

Hello Fog Town
Crossing the Golden Gate I have landed in San Francisco after braving the curves of Highway 1 down the coast of California. Ahhhhh. One week of Amoeba, lil trips south, good food, places i’ve never been, a travel companion and wrapping up the whole thing with Up Yer Alley Fair thingy. Now to explore “the…
