a winding road to Fringe, but i'm in edinburgh -- so no complaining. after all, i could be in new jersey.....not the smoothest path to say the least -- toronto to copenhagen to amsterdam., and on top of that a pretty lackluster day 1. Fringe seems a lot more subdued than it normally does......

rhys darby was mediocre at best, and the coolest thing of...

i've been quiet for a few days, but after thinking about it long and hard (not really) -- screw it, i'm going to fringe. i lasted 3 days at home, its time for another vacation. plus fringe is not so much vacation as social duty.......

to scotland!

well, i missed that flight......now what in the hell am i supposed to do? pretty much all the flights out of nyc today are sold out, so i guess i will have to hang another day........now if my ukranian friends would just wake up so the tourguide can continue.......

last day of a three week bender (that means that tomorrow starts a new three week bender....)

taking my buddies to see lucinda williams at the MH in williamsburg and to joe does for dinner. tomorrow morning i'm heading back to detroit for a day or two. next week is up in the air -- maybe back to NYC, maybe to fringe in edinburgh. who...

a dull thuddish end to an otherwise smashed-teeth trip. bangkok was quiet, uneventful and not even that hot. noodles on a plastic stool in front of the 7-11 on sukhumvit and its all over.

next its gets tricky -- get up at 330am for a 530 am flight to tokyo then philadelphia. meeting some friends from Kyiv who are coming in for the week. and...

shit. now i have to put on a suit, trudge through 100 degree heat and go to work. fuck this........if there is an upside, its that in 24 hours i will be passed out on a plane.....................

sunday morning in bangkok. ok ok -- afternoon. what's the difference it's fucking morning to me. and yes I am hungover but in a good hungover way (as opposed, for any dense folks, to a bad hungover way). i've been on the road by myself for more than two weeks now, and frankly enjoying the time. i'm a solo act when it comes to traveling....

Just another Bangkok Saturday night. I can barely type because Im drunk off my ass. Should I be posting a blog right now? Hell no. but fuck it. i am inspired by the "if you want blood" girl.

So I guess Ive more than made up for my sober-as-fuck Friday night in dubai. No more details forthcoming, but Im not in jail and all is...

File this under what the fuck was I thinking (its becoming a thick file). Going to Dubai in the middle of Ramadan was never going to work out according to plan. Normally, Dubai is my safety valve if I need to get out of India and all other options are exhausted. The last flight to Singapore is 9am, Bangkok 2pm, Colombo 4pm. So my only...

india, india, india. again again. i spend more time here than any other country, but you never really get used to the place. the four year old kid knocking on your car window isn't something that ever becomes routine. even for the hundredth time.....

anyway, not only am i here again but my well-laid plans to get out of here quickly have been thwarted as...

8 hours on a the ground in new york. i didn't even have time to go home to dump my crap and pick up new clothes. instead i jumped a flight to amsterdam at 6pm and am sitting in the lounge at schipol pounding crappy coffee and listening to a bunch of blondes from california recap their luxurious trip to kenya. they apparently were especially...

i gave up my aisle seat on the flight to Sao Paulo so that two nuns could sit next to each other. I think that means i am going to heaven. Score!!!
