The Final Countdown!

da na na na! da na na na na! da na na na! da na na na na na!

that's how that 80's classic goes... And I am on it. In less than 60 hours I'll be flying out of Mexico City, one of the largest cities in da world, back to San Fracisco, 8 days less than a year from when I left. It's kinda cool.

I am sad to be leaving Chiapas and San Cristóbal behind, and even sadder to be saying goodbye to some good friends, the amazing sunsets of San Cris, and, of course, my worms (see photo)... But it's time to go back. I had vaguely planned a year stay, and that year is up. It's time to go home, visit dear friends and family, turn 30!!!!!! and (eventually) get a job.

Tomorrow night I'm playing music at my friend Oscar's bar, "La Mil y Unas Noches" -"1,001 Nights." It's in a barrio about an hour outside of the center of Mexico City. He's billed me as a gringo hip-hopper, which is not exactly true. I only have my 2 raps - bok choi and bowel movements... The rest will be me and a guitar, and maybe vocals from my friend Laura, playing Dylan, Cohen, Nelson (Willie), Nirvana, etc... It'll be seat of the pants, cuz I've been playing not at all lately, but we all know that that's how I fly. Maybe my friend Jen will take some video for me to share with yall.

So, Bay Area folks! You'll be seeing me soon! New York crew! I arrive Feb 6! Looking forward to hugs and love, and cake in my birthday face.

OK. Computer is being stoopid. Will post photos soon. Bye!
