Woke up the other day in Albuquerque New Mexico. Yesterday woke up in Austin and watched the sun rise over the Dairy Queen, today we awoke in Houston at 5 am and are headed to New Orleans..
Shot a video at the Grand Canyon, and climbed up on the roof of the bus to ride it over Hoover Dam. Played a show and did a presentation at a gallery in Albuquerque, went to Roswell to look for aliens, then to Carlsbad Caverns..it's amazing out here although 8 in a bus can get tight. But it's a great crew and we have electricity and internet on the bus, so we can stop anywhere and light the propane stove and begin chopping veggies for dinner while digitizing the day's footage and uploading photos!
The people I have met are unbelievable, when they see us and our big bus, and then they meet us and hear exactly what we are doing, they want to help and be a part of it. The idea of micro-collaboration and art/film/music bringing social change on a global level excites them, and everyone has their own reason for what touches them. Whether it's the fact that we are bio-diesel, or the fact that we are just willing to take that risk and try. Whatever it is, they are touched. The other day a woman named Stephanie gave us a dollar, just as a rainbow appeared over the Grand Canyon. We began to sing "rainbow connection" and she started crying and gave her husband a hug and thanked us and walked away.
It was simple, and silly, and sweet.

Life is good, all the time.
