California indeed, where the mountains meet the Sea. LA is a trip, super-diverse. Things seem good out there, hows about for you? Go eat at the Standard Tap for me? Venison perhaps

nikolai, hi! i work at the middle east in cambridge and some people i think you know (..?) played there a couple nights ago, and i almost expected to see you, but alas. if you're ever around here, let me know! it was fun to see you for about a minute and a half on the sidewalk a while back.
Doc wants to know if you can hook em up with a philly cheese steak. he says he's never had one before - even though he's been to philly a couple times back in the 90's. He's full of shit.
We didn't realize someone was documentin' that Harry Smith mornin' dirt climbing session...Thanks for the photo! Hope to see ya down another dirt road soon...
Hi Nikolai! A good friend of mine posted this phantastic video on my site. Music for the sky. Well, my question is, if it's a longer movie and can I buy it? Your pictures are great and I really love the sound! Bearded Greetings!
