A Day's Drive in Big Sur, California 🐙

‼️I'm going to try and write a little more often, including posts about shorter trips or overall quicker things we do. I've tended to just stick to larger out-of-state or international trips to blog about but looking back I've only done about 30-40 posts

💀Photographing Skull and Roses 2023🌹

On a whim, I reached out to the Skull and Roses team via email, expecting to get denied for a media pass as I had never shot a concert (or any event for that matter).  I was pleasantly surprised to hear back from Dennis McNally of all people who for

Southern Taiwan Travel in Tainan and Xiaoliuqiu 🇹🇼

Part 2 in a 2-part series on my trip to Taiwan, view part 1 in Taipei here! Tainan is more conservative and has a much slower pace than Taipei (although having "slow" pace in most parts of Taiwan is a misnomer), but that also means generally older and

Autumn 2022 Germany Trip – Oktoberfest & more 🍻 🥨

Much like our trip to Morocco in 2019, we didn't have Germany on our minds for much time prior to booking the trip.  Honestly, it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment decision combined with Dark Star Orchestra going on tour in Europe (more on that here) 😈.  My wife

New Beginnings in the Bay Area

The first time I visited San Francisco was for Dead & Company's 2019 New Year's Eve run at the tail end of 2019.  I had no idea what I was in for or that I'd be living in the same area 2 and a

Dead in the Midwest 2021

Dead tour has been a long time coming – a very long time.  For better or for worse the COVID-19 situation has made the past year and a half fly by, it's hard to believe the last time I saw Dead and Company prior to 2021 was New Year&

A Week in Vermont

Ask most people about Vermont and I think the first thing that's going to come to their mind is Bernie Sanders – there's also a good chance that Bernie is the only Vermont topic that they're able to conjure up.  I can't really
