New York: New York Reality
Driving in Manhattan seemed easy enough on thursday night at 9pm but I was about to try it on a Saturday morning which was going to be fun. I gave myself plenty of time… I thought. The traffic was pretty heavy, I wouldn’t like to do this on a weekday, but I just had to [...]

New York: Chasing Dinosaurs
George went to work early and I tried to remember how I get to the train station for my express train into Manhattan. Finding the station was fine, getting back wouldn’t be so easy. I took the 10.05 express train to 125th in Harlem and got off and went looking for the subway. Its a [...]

The road to New York City
I managed to haul my ass out of bed at 10am or so and sorted my stuff out. Renae had mailed me the previous night to say there was a NYC party on that night and when that happens it usually means something. She needed someone to go to a gig she wanted to see [...]

Boston MA: I fought the law and….
Well, it didn’t work and they called the cops. Looks like I might be deported and my car impounded for not having plates. Disaster!

Boston MA: Master forger….?
The minivan was mine, Eric turned up Monday night, we did the paperwork, he counted the $2200 (in $20 bills) and I finally had a vehicle. Tuesday was the day to get everything together. I hit the net and phoned a few places, I also called Nicholas, the French Guy, who had just completed a [...]

Boston MA: Wheeler Dealer
I was woken by Eric with the minivan ringing me up, his phone was dead so he only just got my message. I sleepily started negotiating, blah blah, broken AC, there is a better one with AC and less miles for $3k,blah blah, so I offered him $2k. He said he only wanted to go [...]

Boston MA: When will I be famous….? Um, 3rd November….
I hadn’t drank that much (wouldn’t be clever with a very expensive camera around your neck) and the cops didn’t beat me up so I felt suprisingly refreshed the next morning. Brad had to scoot off to work and the 4 of us left decided breakfast would be a good idea. On the way we [...]

Back in the U.S.S.A!
Well I made it to the States, Boston to be specific, although I wasn’t completely sure it was going to happen. Customs and immigration were a nightmare and we got here extremely late on the Monday night. I had hitched a ride with the Boston crowd who had come down for the weekend and they [...]

Boston Invasion Party time!
Living near the center of Montreal with Daniella meant I could finally do some easy tourist things, but that didn’t really happen as we spent most of the day in Sex Shops. I didn’t get pictures. The previous day was really nice and we had hiked up to the Mount Royal which the city is [...]
