USA/CAN MAY Tour






pretty much the only photo I took in SF while trying to sleep in this park.  Jet lag was heavy this time around for some reason and sleep was very difficult.

Sammy's apartment in Portland where I stayed for a few days.  I was still getting only about 2 hours of sleep per night/day.  While I was in Portland there was also an E-Coli outbreak in the water which caused my already delusional brain to panic further.  I basically sat on that couch and listened to my new Jon Hassell record most of the time.

when I did make it out of the house we visited Sammy's friends up in the hills.

dude had a very nice studio.

which included this bit of gear salvaged from the actual Motown studio in Detroit!

great digging with my pal Corry

a painting of the 808 by Egyptian Lover commissioned for the shop 


sharing the wall with more metal 

Detroit deserves a separate post all together.

drove from Detroit to Philly with friends.  Here I am at the Liberty Bell.  I did not however manage to visit where they make the cream cheese.
