At some time down the road, there will be a group of nostalgic thirtysomethings obsessing over the early years of AI graphic art design.

Today was a super fun day poking around and puttering around Oroville and Marysville, California, in between Chico and Sacramento. I’ve never spent any time in this neck of the woods.

I was super happy to pass through Willow Creek, the Bigfoot capital of the world. They really do it up right here!

Last night’s sold-out show at McCabe’s was a blast! It was such a great time from start to finish. We dedicated the show to the memory of our fallen pal Russell Scott.

It looks like the news is breaking on the internet that our good friend Russell Scott passed away yesterday, on the road touring with Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Boys.

I’m playing in Downey, California tonight, with the Whippersnappers. I had some time to kill before the gig, so I took a tour of Downey’s historic locations.

This is the house at 10400 Columbus Avenue in Mission Hills where legendary child star Alfalfa Switzer was shot and killed.

At the Festisurf Festival in Castell d’Aro, Spain, I was excited to see that I. Jeziak and the Surfers were on the bill, a surf band from Poland that several of my friends have been raving about.

I woke up early this morning in Barcelona and walked up the hill to the incredible Park Güell.
