I'm planning to travel from AZ to Van to get to a couch to sleep on :D. So planning to drive up the westside of the US. I've done this before but it was a bit more rushed and I wasn't as broke and resourceless. I will be car camping the whole way, but also have a tent for dispersed campsites...

Hey y'all, I have a very decent Mongoose MTN bike and one of those pull-behind, bolt -on kiddie carriage rickshaw things ,which I'm gonna load with my guitar, a bag of clothes, and as little various sentimental detritus as I can get by with. Anyone have a solid estimation of how long it'd take...

I’ve been involved with the Bay Area (CA) scene for almost 10 years now. I’ve sent the following info to a number of friends in the past as they’ve visited and asked where to find shows, so I figured I’d make one big post here for anyone looking to get involved with the scene or at least catch...

This will be my first summer in Arizona since I was a teen. Prescott was highly recommended for its busking scene, and there are also supposed to be good food banks if the competition makes me look stupid, lol. I'm not really the big city type, but I love busking, just switched domicile from...

Hey y'all, To begin, I hope this post is in the right thread !
