and i’d rather be backpacking.
it’s a monday. it’s a monday in january. when things are looking that bad, it’s time to break out the summer/winter backpacking photos and reminisce about hot accents, tangy ceviche, sleeper trains, better beer and kayaking on the pacific. Forget about the food poisoning, cat fights, that near-drowning incident and hostel bed bugs. i’m being [...]

see this: where the antelope play.
Sometimes en-route from dc to australia it totally makes sense to take a detour through bozeman, montana. DUH. You will be woken up by a moose about to charge through your bedroom window! It will scare the shit out of you! But that’s okay, because later you will go ice-fishing, ski, or maybe even go [...]

see this: life is old there, older than the trees
capslock dc relished the opportunity to leave the district and head to berkeley springs, west virginia for a weekend. there was hiking and apple butter and small town shenanigans, everything we could have hoped for. after a lovely little jaunt through cacapon trail, we headed to earthdog cafe for some live “music” and “dancing”. the [...]

aussie guest drop: “mate, it’s free…”
I had the privilege of seeing this Perth-based (that’s in Western Australia, kids) 5-piece for free at the “The Espy” Hotel in St. Kilda, Melbourne. I also convinced myself that the 23 bucks/pitcher we were preparing ourselves with didn’t cover the set… each subsequent pitcher=greater denial. Everyone has seen a band they love for free—in [...]
