Van Down By the River. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. BBQ before we go. What better way to celebrate our temporary sabbatical from the working world than to throw a huge BBQ and get durty with all of our LA friends before we leave. This will be a downright excessive Kansas City BBQ and even a keg or two. I hope everyone can make it. Heres the rad concept flyer and the details.notice a much younger but equally handsome El Guapo in the photo. Posted by Van Down By The River at 6:07 PM. Van Down By The River.

Van Down By the River. Wednesday, December 13, 2006. I went down to the crossroads.and kept driving. We are in full flight home for the holidays. Rachel and I will be back in Los Angeles to catch a flight to Canada for Christmas. On a side note, does anyone out there actually get excited about Christmas? Above all the last week has been a drive through the American music heartland. After the LaScala's graciously took us in in Atlanta, we cruised through the home of 3 of the most profound American mus...

Van Down By the River. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. We Live In A Mechanic Shop. Well, life has been no less than interesting lately. The alarm goes off at 7am, and every five minutes thereafter. At 8, we're finally roused by the sound of machinery clanking to life. Weak light streams into our cave. Mens' voices echo outside. We sit and wait. Sit and wait. Wait. Sit. Yes, I love the bartering system! I'm not sure how much longer we will be here, but I just hope it's before the snow creeps down the mountai...

Van Down By the River. Monday, January 29, 2007. In the Desert, You can't remember your name. After all the anticipation, master planning, and wild last-minute weapon stashes, we finally are lucky enough to experience the "Real Mexico." Layers of sandy dust now coat everything we own, thus christening Guntero as Baja-worthy. Amid the saggy chi-chi dogs (don't pet them), cowboys on ATVs, and dusty children on bikes there lies a surprising diversity in both the landscape and people of Baja. Secondly we add...

Van Down By the River. Friday, March 30, 2007. After basking in the glow of our warmed egos, Joe and I were lucky enough to catch the beautiful city of Antigua, Guatemala, in the festivities leading up to its most beloved holiday: Easter, or Holy Week. Posted by Van Down By The River at 8:51 AM. Monday, March 26, 2007. Ahhh, our self-serving guilt trip successfully squeezed comments out of our loyal readers. You are the fattened calf from whose sweet bosom we drink. Sunday, March 25, 2007. Okay, since it...

Van Down By the River. Wednesday, October 25, 2006. Readers, beware. Some content may be offensive to the following: PETA members, vegans, and cute animal lovers. This special posting is dedicated to the countless creatures who have lost their lives and now permanently reside in Madison, Wisconsin. Though it is a tragedy, we must honor their memories with a photo homage. We got the tip from a friend in Minnesota, a Wisconsin native. Once we arrived in the great city of Chicago, our gracious host JR took ...

Van Down By the River. Monday, November 27, 2006. At the risk of blasphemy, I won't describe how much of a disappointment my cheesesteak was from a reputable sandwich joint on South Street in Philly. Instead, I will say the presentation was immaculate, the chefs intimidating, and the meat slicer the shinyest. Way to go, Philly cheesesteak. Stay bland. I may be dense, but they were the first I had ever noticed: canvas slung beneath horsebums, heavily drooping with deposit. Brilliant. What can I say? I was...

Van Down By the River. Friday, August 25, 2006. I think Alcan, I think Alcan.Alcan Alcan Alcan:. Yes, we've finally arrived in Alaska! We're getting hopped up on free coffee right now in Fairbanks- home of the Aurora Borealis and mosquitos the size of small bats. We've set up camp and breathed a heavy, collective sigh of relief that we reached one of our most remote destinations. Posted by Van Down By The River at 7:52 PM. Sunday, August 20, 2006. Snakes on a Barf. I can't wait to get out of here and mak...

Van Down By the River. Saturday, February 24, 2007. Paint: Mexico's Favorite Color. Crossing over the Sea of Cortez has introduced us to a Mexico even more vibrant with culture and scenery, along with my quarter-century notch. It's strange passing into the title of mid-20s without sharing a birthday cake with my lil bro and easy access to a phone connected to loved ones, thanks everyone for the well wishes. Posted by Van Down By The River at 8:06 AM. Sunday, February 18, 2007. We dodged drunkards wieldin...
