Broken Hallelujah

The Spitfurther Tour left Nov 13, with a Bus full of Pranksters, merry or otherwise, and Skypilotclub members that will go from Eugene to Portland to Ashland, to San Francisco, Mountain View, Sebastapol and to Berkeley leaving a wake of confused citizens, startled sheep, mooing cows, billy goats, rocky raccoons and Oregon Beavers.

Ken Kesey passed in Nov 2001, and left unfinished works that are now completed and up for sale. Two new books will debut: Kesey's Jail Journal is an oversized, richly illustrated work that Kesey began in the late 1960's while serving time in the San Mateo County Jail. Also just out is Spit in the Ocean #7, a special tribute issue with contributions from Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe, Larry McMurtry, Gus Van Sant and others.

I really love living in Asheville, NC, now, but it does seem like California gets all the good tours, entertainments, etc. And Portland and Seattle... the grass is always greener... and don't even get me started on how cool Canada is.
