Wasteland Weekend

The latest adventure was going to Wasteland Weekend in the apocolyptic scrub deserts of California. It was a fun excuse to make costumes and drag the trailer out of the drive way and make sure everything is still humming along. It was hot as balls in southern cali but we had the generator and the AC unit in the trailer kept it nice and cool for the peak heat of day. Here are some shots from the trip.

Cargo Trailer remodel

So I undertook a large remodel of the trailer for burning man. I’m adding a solar rig, wall to wall RMAX insulation and a 9000 BTU AC unit. I’ll be posting a series of blogs in the upcoming days about it.

I’ll be posting back logged blogs about the adventure with links to the various things I’ve added.

 

Upcoming Adventures

Well, I’m turning a new leaf in life, after 10 years in the event industry I’m taking a break and going into acrobatic wheel manufacturing. my new company vitruvian is going to revolutionize the roue cyr wheel, making it simpler to assemble, cheaper to purchase and networking like minded acrobats and performers together to cross train and improve skillsets.

ill post the kickstarter info coming soon and more details to follow!

It all starts as a dream. I’ve always wanted independence, it started by leaving home for california on pretty much a whim. I’ll find work, I’ll figure it out. And I did. 8 months of grinding at a 4 star hotel later, and I’m looking at my options. I can keep paying half my take home pay in rent, or I can figure out a way out. After searching craigslist endlessly, I find her, a old beast that needs a bunch of work but is already well on her way to being a boondockers dream. This is the story of fixing her up and the adventures that follow.
