TRIFE'S SEMI-FAR FLUNG STRING REPORTER, SARAH H. REPORTS FROM THE MOJAVE
braverywise, im totally feeding, beastwise, an enormous brontosaurusish
caitin at the peewee dinosaur situiash, possible gale force winds, except that maybe they dont have gales in the desert...?
this old codgerdude was giving tours of this house built with bottles and mud, i dont think he was hyped on my taking photos...
PS, the house smells like cat piss and has a hippie school bus in the back, semi-manson style
harmonymotelwise, U2 stayed here while they were writing the epiclytrife "Joshua Trees" record, note my sign language, U and a 2, for the hearing impaired, harmony's website is claiming that its a great spot for,"Meditators, Misfits, and Mystics", so, we were thinking weirdos, freaks, whatevs, all we got was a single mom. damn. no big deal...besides, t-shirtwise, im killing it
...so, motelwise, hauntedwise, we stayed at this other place, its borderline famous, its called the Amargosa Opera House Hotel, but it still smells like cat-pee and has murals of questionable merit
borderline-make-out situation
twins status, well, mural-wise
the mirror reminded me of the shining, and, also, it made us look fat
...so then, amboy, california, if you should be looking for a job here, maybe dont bother because, according to Yahoo jobs scenarios, they dont have anything to offer, well, jobswise that is...
...its an atomic-era town and is probably the coolest thing ever, its in the middle of nowhere, except that its sort of near a really really big thermometer in bakersfield, california
amboy ghost school, semi-awwws, of course, no big deal
...so Rhyolite, Nevada, named for the material mined there...
this town was a real-live ghost town, live ghost town, hmm, anyway, it was so awesome, i was thinking i was in deadwood, so i was doing lots of swearing
moutainwise, obviously, totally epic
then, i went to visit my sister...
her school has an outdoor pool, but also, they have chickens, plus, how cute is she?
then me and caitlin went to this place for drinks...
...at this restaurant there was this really uncomfortable moment when the entire staff was required to sing italian songs and do cheers with every table like 5 times...it was sort of like Farrel's for grown-ups...f'n trife...i was tricked into going there, though maybe i secretly loved it, hmmm, nope
im ending my report with these really tiny, i mean weeny, seriously, look at how small these flowers are...but they are so exceptionally pretty

BOSSMAN HAS A BIRTHDAY PARTY
saturday night i went to tony's birthday party, it was possibly the semi-best birthday situation ive been to, there were kids, being cute, drawing pictures and shit, parents being proud, rightfully so, and friends galore, seriously, it was freaking me out, the banana put together this crowd of people who all recognize the greatness of the bossman, tony, im forever indebted to this guy, he has made so much possible for me, all these plane trips, the work to keep me at least partially sane and grounded, wow, i mean it, a huge thank you to tony and susanah for putting it all together
i used this photo, because, obviously, fuckin epic
web-journalist guy outside the party on my way elsewhere, still reeling, joy was seeping out of me, i imagined that anyone i walked past would catch the joy and everything would be all better and osama b. l. would leave us all alone and...
i stopped at the fish on the way home and alain fanned out on the trife, i was hyped
dan fanned out on football, epic
lila stopped by, a friend came by and picked her up to go somewhere better, if that is possible

I REALIZED I LOVE PIZZA AND BEER
blair met us at the ale hole, the ale hole may well have the worst clientele of all time, my friend sarah h. refers to the crowd as her german cousins, i dont know what that means but i think it fits, of course, sarah doesnt have any german cousins, so go figure...right, so blair joined us and gave us all tatoos advertizing blair wear, i thought i looked sort of tough, as tough as a guy can look with a blair wear lick on tat on his neck...
web-journalist guy as tough guy
sometimes im not so sure blair is all there, i mean she speaks in coherent sentences, but...
damo and blair
at some point there was some sort of semi-erotic tounge situation, but i missed it, whatevs
so nevitt came and got blair and andy, erin, damo and me went over to the fish, andy wouldnt let himself go in, i could understand, patrick was there, i didnt want to harass anyone with my camera, of course, i couldnt, because as usual i had forgotten it, tino got in my jacket with me in it, it was pretty funny, you probably had to be there, then again, you pretty much have to be there for any of this crap, i definitely sensed there are some antics done solely for the purpose of coverage in epicly later'd, which, im not above myself, in fact, i encourage such behavior...we left, went to zblonski's for one more, well, more...zblonski's is probably damo's favorite bar, its close to his house, but it is seriously trifeness itself....

I WAS COLD, SO I BOUGHT A COAT AND GOT DRUNK
my new down jacket cost me 20 dollars, 20 bucks and now im semi-pimp status, i had people trying it on, maybe even some of them were a little jealous, well, maybe, anyway, im hyped, no more layers situations, its snowing out and im all whatever, no big deal, i got a huge down jacket, basically alls im saying is that my jacket shreds and the people who were there to pose in it shred even more, so thanks for coming out and donning the bro jacket(suddenly i sense the possibility that i dont know how to spell jacket, weird)

thats all i can say, im semi- epicly buddha-erized, i had heard rumors, but they were so amazing i didnt feel right pointing erin's camera at them, instead i shot a shit load of pictures of sean, whatever, no big deal.

sean, head-gear wise, epic
patrick's gear was pretty much semi-gangster, i was hyped

Bananaman
im not the guy in the banana suit...
bryce shot the elk, i wanted to get out and talk to the homie, but elk news on the radio warned that they are sort dangerous, what with the antlers and all, bananaman wasnt scared
farmer
me, farmer and bryce went to oregon last weekend to skate p.orford and brookings, farmer free-aired the gap, i got a hole-in-one at mini-trife-golf, and bryce,skatedaily.net shot the photos and shredded. bananaman was just wandering around waving at people on the street of some tiny town, we only saw him from the car, maybe it was bananawoman, that sounds semi-super-hero. the elk herd was crossing the street, just as the sign a mile or two early warned of.
my friend erin sent me these photos from new york, i wasnt there for them, except susie dancing with the dude in the banana suit, well, i was sort of there, i was blacked out, i dont remember any of that portion of the evening, i do remember damo eating a burger at kellogs, maybe the banana dude wasnt really there, i dont know
susie
jen
erin and meryl
susie and dawn arm wrestling, sort of curious what might be on andreas' mind
