2009 - not bad. not bad at all.
Thursday, December 31st, 2009
I love a good adventure.
granted, 2008 was more of one,
but 2009 had a lot happening as well.
it started on a bus in Austin on Jan. 01 - I think someone broke the iPod player.
and then we slowly made our way down to The Keys - Tim a bit more slowly than the rest of us.
I took a month off and did Berlin with Alonso and Switzerland for Carnival.
then over to Austin for SXSW.
and back on the bus.
met Otis Redding’s son and daughter in Georgia.
then back to Oklahoma to watch my brother marry the girl he loved and still loves.
back on the bus and down through the southwest.
finally arriving in one of the best places in the U.S. - Bend, OR. [no photos or stories as I'm supposed to be keeping that town a secret]
got flown to Hawaii by the state’s tourism agency
and then back to Bend.
I loved it, sure, but there was no work to be had,
so I made the easy decision to move to Norway to work on a farm. [no photos and stories because I didn't actually make it there]
stopped in NYC and met a girl.
who then traveled with me in the U.K.
we tried to sail to France, but I got us lost.
and then moved back with her to Los Angeles.
back to Hawaii for another gig.
then back to L.A.
that ended up not working out, so I headed back home,
then to the East Coast.
then the U.K.
then Berlin.
and now find myself drinking black tea with no milk in an Istanbul hotel room.
…so, yeah. thanks, 2009 - 2010, I do have a few thoughts though.
