I found out a few days ago. I miss that kid so much. R.I.P. Whyme! This was taken on his 20th birthday last summer in Providence.

April 9th in the Superditch, I believe.

All my grandparents spoke it but I never got to meet any of them. Also, we play a lot of traditional Yiddish songs, so it's nice to understand what I am singing. It won't be too hard, I speak enough Hebrew and various Germanic languages to understand most of it anyhow. Anyway, Cormac McCarthy...

We are playing a show with them in OKC!

Hey, I know there are a ton of kids in Florida right now. If you are near Gainesville, you should come see our first show of the tour! March 20th 8:00 P.M. At Wayward Council With Jessie Williams and Mikey B. We will be getting into town on the 17th, so if you want to hang out beforehand...

Compass, The Road is an amazing book. Have you read anything else by Cormac McCarthy? I am currently reading "I Hope they Serve Beer in Hell," by Tucker Max. Hysterical. Also, the Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Yiddish.

Right on. I rock a Carhartt jumper as well. Had to do a lot of modifications to it to get it to fit me well. The only pair of Carhartt bibs that actually fit me are the kids bibs.

You are an extremely charismatic writer. It is well put and concise. I bet teachers and school administrators dote over your work. Keep it up and please continue to post your essays here. I was assigned a similar project when I was in high school. Being an avid enthusiast of dated cinema, I...

Went shopping at the Army Surplus store today. By accident, I bought a really expensive headlamp. I was pissed at first, but decided I may as well stick the batteries in and try it out. I immediately became stoked on how high tech it is. So if you are ever thinking to yourself: Gee! I would...

Hey Not Floyd. I am in Los Angeles right now about to head out on the 17th. I know there are a lot of kids in this area that would likely be open to let you travel with them if for any reason things don't work out with the traveler you just met. If you are ever in LA before the 17th, hit me up.

Definitely, I am probably going to have someone back home hang onto it for me so I can swap when winter hits again. I think I found something I can settle with off of Amazon. This time of year I can't imagine I am going to need anything rated lower than 20F, especially since we are staying...

Was debating whether or not to start a new thread but I figured I may as well resurrect an old one. Hey folks, I am going to be in Gainesville with my band mate by the evening of the 17th. We are playing a show on the 20th at Wayward Council with Jessie Williams. So we will have a bit of time...

I am having a hell of a time finding a good sleeping bag right now. I have this monstrous 8 pound military arctic down bag that I got from a free box. It's good for 40 below which will be nice for winter traveling in the north but hauling that thing around last summer was a major pain in my...

Boca: Ari is pretty good friends with the Black Sparrow Press kids. Do you want to get in contact with them? Fuck yeah, see you there Lachlan!

We are playing a free show on the beach in San Pedro with Black Sparrow Press and some other bands. Playing a few more shows in the LA area and then we are going on tour. Yay.

Angeline the Baker and Cluck Old Hen are some easy mandolin picking tunes. I was given a mando a couple weeks ago and have picked it up pretty quickly. Definitely know your basic chords but learn to pick too, since that is what makes it interesting.

Yeah, once again sorry about the incorrect address on the flyer. We got lost too and our friend who organized it didn't have her phone. But thanks for coming!

Spent today skinning a roadkill raccoon with my friend. Surprisingly was mostly salvageable. Collected tons of bones, four paws, tail, skull, and a full hide.

Aw, but Ari and I are not a snore!

Come see us play =]

I may be wrong but I thought the Gem Show was in Quartzite?

I definitely had a better immune system when I was traveling. I didn't have so much as a cold this past year. Since I have been stationary, however, I have been hit with myriad ailments, including my first case of lice.

I got a nasty touch of the stomach flu and was puking all day. So pissed I missed it.

I've never had a problem with North Platte, it's just fucking huge. Omaha can be cool if you find the right people. There's a nifty train museum in Lincoln.

I was going to start a thread about hangover cures on New Years Day. However, I was too hungover to stare at the computer screen. I like to start with a hot shower and then drink a lot of water or juice. Stay away from caffeine.

Franny, that is one of my dad's favorite jokes. I made him say it to everyone I was traveling with over the speakerphone when we were in Chicago.

What's the difference between a crusty chick and a washing machine? You can dump a load in the washing machine and it won't follow you across the country.

You can probably get some awesome wool socks at nearly any sports outlet store or army surplus store. They might be pricey for socks, but definitely better than needing to get freshies once every few days.

Man. I loved NC. Especially hanging out with some old buddies of mine that are attending the Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa. Seriously, that place is traveling kid heaven.

Yeah, it's been clear and sunny here in Venice. We had to turn the A/C on at work and all the fans, too.

This is extremely informative, thank you!!!

You can fit your pack up your ass? (Sorry, I just had to say it)

Well, lookie here at what I got tonight: I only took about half of the vegetarian slices. There were three more boxes full. Plus weird gigantic asian cucumbers. Hooray! I wish someone else was here to help me eat it all =\

Well, I don't know about tent city but bluegrass plus beautiful scenery... I am sold. Also, liquor and awesome old men with crazy beards make me happy. As long as I get to wear my bonnet.

Ooh! I would really like to go to this. I always miss bluegrass festivals by mere days.

I never did coast to coast myself but I have a lot of friends who have. However, they usually do New York to LA... not the route you are planning on taking. You will probably want to look up the "Southern Tier" bike route. It's about 3130 miles, extending from St. Augustine, FL to San Diego, CA.

I was riding the Pineapple Express back in '86. For some reason, we didn't crew change at the big island; I had to hop off on the fly at 60 knots when I saw land. Turned out I had gotten off at Kalaupapa at the leprosy colony. But they turned out to be cool, I drank hella forties with them...

Yeah, I am confused by the fact that you think everyone who has traveled has met a lot lizzard. I most certainly have not met one.

Unless we are talking Greek mythological gods, in which case, Zeus wasn't exactly a pure guy... He even gave birth out of his head!

I would have to say that the majority of people I meet, I would rather avoid than kick it with.

Count me in this year.

Trainhopping from Providence: Pay the 8 dollars to go to Boston.

You guys are all a bunch of dirty jungle buzzards. Admit it.

Dirty bandana, Carhartt bibs, dread mullet? Those kids that like old timey music and used to busk the song "Wagon Wheel" in earnest but now will only do it for ironic purposes since everyone else started playing it?

If you end up driving out, let me know. I have a license, plus can help with fueling the vehicle.

I would like to share the encounter with LAPD that I had tonight. Kicking it in a parking lot, drinking. My buddy started freaking out about a cop that drove by. I told him he was being paranoid and litterally a fraction of a second later I saw the telltale cop flashlight. All three of us...

I'd be coming from Venice and going back to Venice. But I have a job and responsibilities n' shit. And I have a feeling if I went to Mardi Gras, I would end up being really drunk there for a week and probably never return to SoCal. Which would be great.
