Throwback to 2013 when I was invited to lead a photowalk for the Artists participating in the Artists In The Plus (I think it was called?) Live music event broadcast out of The Village (Studio) in LA, with a number of in-studio musicians, as well as a bunch live from their homes/etc via Google Plus.
Amtrak hooked me up with a sleeper cabin on the Coast Starlight from Seattle to LA (and a Bus from Vancouver to Seattle) in return for photos for their blog π«‘
And I stayed with the artists at the organization's rental house, helped out in a variety of capacities wherever I could, lead a photowalk, and even ended up driving a rental van (I had my class 4 and lots of experience driving that and short busses from an earlier career [ @push- ]), including eventually ferrying a bunch of them from the home to LAX for their return flights eventually.
More random Yerbearserker adventures. Ofc back then I went by the Maplemuskeer π Rambling around where invited, sharing stories and photos, and living out of my backpack on a quest to encourage the awesome π
