How To Live Like a Rockstar When You are Not One...
Breakfast was at 8:30am, and I was the last to arrive. I was still feeling effects of the chicha, the local corn-moonshine we had been drinking with the locals last night when the fiesta began.

Cotacachi is an almost entirely indigenous Ecuadorian community and it took me hours to find out what the peculiar festival taking place...
Potosi to Cochabamba: A Connection and a Near Miss. May 5. Last night after we got back to the hostel in Potosi, I had a visitor who asked to remain anonymous because of this blog. But it was really nice to have her over and spend some time with her. She actually did not even want to be mentioned and told me to write about everything except her, but I can not change what I have been doing for 9...

I spent the first round recording the bout. I spent the second round taking photos. And I spent the third round yelling so hard during the fight that I was sweating when it was finished. 24 June 2016 -Brixton, London, England. The Roadrunners full concerts. Television recordings from Weyburn...
