From a day trip to Big Sur with Lee and Zack. Possibly maybe one the best parts of California.

Spent two weeks with the band Early States at a beach house in Monterey. They’re in the process of being signed by a record label and are writing a new album. It was a beautiful time. We got familiar with each other and all became entranced by the waves in the process. We woke up with them, went to sleep with them, rode them and occasionally got shit on by them. It was fantastic.

My friend, whom I drove cross country with, came back to California so he could join a band. Their first show together was a Sacramento concert in the park.

On the way to California we slept in the car on a back road near the flats. Made it to Bonneville Speedway for sun-up. Most beautiful place in America if you ask me. But that’s because it’s where I fell in love for the first time, some 9 years ago. I was 17 and we kissed in the back of her sister’s car as we drove through Nevada. Stood in dusk on the Utah salt, glowing with summer heat. I took your picture for the first time. It was true love, as far as I could tell.

We slept in the car most nights. Saw a huge lightning storm in Western Nebraska. Got familiar with the milky way in Utah.
“And its something quite peculiar, something that’s shimmering and white. Leads you here despite your destination, under the milky way tonight.”
