12.21.04 |
| Headed off to British Columbia to sample the slopes
at Fernie, a small resort tucked away in the Canadian Rockies,
which reputedly gets the most powder in the world?!! Don't know
who comes up with those stats, but I'll take their word for
it... |
| |
| Back in NYC |
12.12.04 |
| I had the most amazing time in Central America!
I was there for five months living in the last house on a dirt
road tucked away in the clouds of Costa Rica at over 5,000 ft!
The closest working telephone was two hours away! We had world
class waterfalls within steps of the house and I would wake
up in the morning to a flock of squawking sulphur-winged parakeets
landing in a tree outside the house. The trees were covered
with orchids, bromeliads, and old man's beard, you could walk
through the forest and see strangler fig trees, quetzal birds
and glass-winged butterflies... I even started a little garden
with vegetables and herbs! I climbed Costa Rica's highest mountain
3 times (12,532 ft/3820 m), and got to explore the unique high-altitude
shrubby páramo moonscape that surrounds it.
I also had the opportunity to discover the cultural and geographical
offerings of Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala for a few weeks,
which was amazing. See pictures. |

| Headed South! |
07.15.04 |
| Well people, it's time for me to go places that
a box of records won't take me. I'm headed to Costa Rica for
5 months to live in a tropical cloudforest on the slopes of
Mt. Chirripó, Costa Rica's highest peak, on a tract of
land right on the edge of the massive national park that houses
the mountain. I'm due back in mid-December. |
| |
| O, Canada... |
06.11.04 |
| Headed up to Canada for a few weeks of canoeing
and camping in Algonquin National Park and for some r&r
at little cottage on Lake Huron. |
| |

looking forward to VFF 2005..!!! |

in the south of Korea by motorcycle! Visited some outdoor hot
springs in Taipei, and lots of night markets everywhere! |

| Back from 5 weeks in Hong Kong & Korea. It
was a blast, a few pics are online. |
| |
| Back from Europe |
12.09.03 |
| I'm back from Europe! Some highlights... someone
in Poland liked my set so much he came up to me while I was
playing and gave me the shirt off his back (it says Poland on
it!) That was definitely a first... I think I will hang it on
my wall like a hunting trophy! Hamburg was also great -- they
did lots of press for promotion (like 5 or 6 articles in all
the local publications), and the place was packed, plus there
was a TV crew documenting it all and the next day a picture
of me & the promoter was in the Morgenpost (Morning Post)!
