July 2008 |
|
Unripe mulberries are mildly hallucinogenic... and they're all over our yard. Back home, I tinker with house and trailer. |

May 2008 |
| At Irkeshtam Pass, the Chinese border closes for Golden Week. Stuck between countries, I walk the hills for dayz. Earth kindly accepts my baggage. |

March 2008 |
| I'm in Kashgar studying Uyghur. The police restrict movement and instill fear. I sympathize with the locals who know nothing else. |
|

February 2008 |
| Chinese New Years in Beijing. Western New Years in Hanoi. I get drunk and wander the streets. My wife is pregnant. |

December 2007 |
| Vietnam is a country of contradiction. Collatoral damage from the American war is ubiquitous. Capitalism sprouts like a weed from the remains. Communists get rich. |

November 2007 |
| Following the birds south for winter, I slip into Laos. The Mekong flows, massive and silent. |

October 2007 |
| I roll onto the Tibetan Plateau. It's vast and chilled. Beijing controls by force, exhaling paranoia. Monks are under quarantine in Lhasa. I become sad and angry at something I don't understand. I am escorted off the premises. |

September 2007 |
| Off to Burningman and then back to Rochester, NY. It's nice to be home... We watch movies in the park. Life is fine. |

July 2007 |
| I'm in Bakersfield, the armpit of California. The smell of oil wafts through this oven of a city. We get rich off that shit. I escape into the mountains with trailer and 2 cats in tow. |

April 2007 |
| We form the Concrete Discussion Group and hold a "meeting" in Rochester's abandoned subway tunnels. Photos. |

March 2007 |
| The snow finally comes to upstate New York... now, I'm ready for Spring. Time is spent crafting our new/old house, learning about the atmosphere + deep earth, and mixing music. |

September 2006 |
| Skool in New York proves different from life in the Chinese wilderness. More than the environments themselves, I enjoy flux. |

August 2006 |
| In a Kyrgyz family home on the Pamir Plateau, I am detached from the familiar. My body has become seasoned to the desert and fermented mare's milk. Days are spent crawling solo across a harsh, striking landscape. My own pent up shit is released to nature as god. Respect to the nomads who live here. |

July 2006 |
| Angel & I bought a home! It's mad ghetto... But, I see potential. Check back in a year. |
|

June 2006 |
| The familiar smell of hot oil and pepper assaults my nostrils... I have arrived in Yunnan, China to collect water and rock. The Mekong proves long and deep. |

April 2006 |
| Wandering the New York countryside, I happen upon a nuclear power plant. Exploring the premises, I'm surrounded by a troop of black FBI-style SUVs and told to leave. I was hoping for a visitor's center... Also went to Philly and bought massive speakers. Time to sound my barbaric yawp! |

March 2006 |
| The West Coast draws me close and soothes. Rare thunderstorms gather in Death Valley. I am fortunate to be here now. |

February 2006 |
| Saw Prefuse 73 at a small dive in Buffalo, NY. Shot a 1 minute video. |

January 2006 |
| Illicit gatherings in an abandoned subway. The space is vast and textured. Tracks of mineralized seepage coat the walls. I turn on our speakers and the underground fills with sound. |
