Recently ended up in Smith's Falls after hopping an IM that I thought was going straight to Toronto. I wandered into Trinity United Church in town and met some very nice people who offered me a sink-shower and some food/water. The church makes an effort to be welcoming for queer people, and is...

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...

I am considering moving to slab city, and I was wondering if there was anywhere for me to set up a place for sex work, since the police don't come up as often. Would the people of slab city drive me out, or would they be more accepting? I mean no offense, I am just asking before I head up there...

I'm guessing all parks are different. I will be walking along highway 41 in southern Florida through the Big Cypress National Preserve. Haven't got my feet wet with stealth camping yet (but have some coming in the near future but not in national parks) and I'm sure it won't be my last national...

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