If you’re reading this, you likely already know, but I went to Chernobyl by way of Kiev, and took some pictures. There are probably stories I should tell, you know,…
It’s been covered ad-nauseam already, both in traditional media and social, but I was on a boat during the event itself, and I feel like I want to acknowledge the…
and was, indeed, as real as it got. I did a couple gigs on the Runaway to Paradise with Jon Bon Jovi cruise last weekend, and although I didn’t take…

I just put pictures on the site for the first time in about 9 months!
I made it home!
Of course, the house is a disaster, we have guests and I have a headache, but that’s not the worst of it.
It’s been awhile, eh?
I haven’t been dead or anything, just working for the man.
I’ve been embroiled in a project to make my bathroom look less like a thing falling apart and more like a pleasant place to poop over the last week or so, and it’s actually turned out pretty well.
Since I’ve been home, I’ve been in one of those situations where I have so much to do that I literally have no idea where to start, so of course,…
Yo. The fam was here all weekend (Thursday – Monday, and if that ain’t what weekends are in the summertime, I’ll be your aunt Fanny), so I was offline for…
I made it home!
24 hours on planes and in airports from Lisbon made it happen, but despite the absurdity of security theatre, lost passports (yes, I lost my passport on the flight from Portugal to LHR) and fat guys in middle seats, I made it home anyway.
After Barcelona (which was every bit as cool as I remembered it, btw), we went up to San Sebastian.
I’m in Barcelona at the moment, checking my emails and generally getting caught back up on the world since I’ve been offline the last few days.
You may not have known it was broken, but the broken search was something that had been bothering me for a long time. For awhile it had been co-opted by…
I made it to Athens, survived the 4-shows-in-5-days nonsense and managed to spend a couple hours this morning at the top of the hill in the Acropolis.
I’ve been *days* without internet. It’s been amazing and horrifying, enlightening and torturous. We’ve done 4 shows in 5 days and I’m fucking exhausted, to be totally honest. Landed in…
Istanbul was way cooler than I thought it would be.
Maybe it’s because I’m a guy (I heard that some of the girls on our tour dealt with sexism that would miss me entirely) and maybe it’s because I had just come from Cairo, where literally everything was either falling down or being put up and the people were pretty much unaffected by all of it, maybe it’s because Takumi had a friend who was willing to drive us around and play tourguide, or at least tour facilitator, but whatever the cause, I was impressed.
More nonsense after the break.
So I didn’t update during my down day, and after that, events just proceeded too fast for me to keep up with.
No Egypt update today – I took the day to just chill, write and catch up on work-stuff. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! I appreciate you all the more when I’m…
Today’s installment takes us to the Egyptian Museum in big, bad Tahrir Square, through that self-same roundabout, across Cairo into the City of the Dead and to a Mosque built over 800 years ago, as well as to a few other places I may or may not get to.
I can’t decide if I recommend reading any further today, actually, because today was so much weirder than yesterday and definitely contained less iconic stuff (although King Tut’s shit is pretty well-known).
Dateline: Giza
Today’s update is long!
In case you were wondering about the weather for the next few stories, I figure I’ll just post the 10-day forecast and see if it deviates at all.
Travel’s exciting And rock shows are fun But I’m happiest at 127.0.0.1
