Wherein I get to sign my posters alongside the cool kids. Campout 15 was wonderful, and I returned from the desert happy, sunburned, and wishing we could have stayed there a day longer. Notwithstanding a truly epic faceplant in the @pappyandharriets parking lot during a particularly intense game of “out of state license plate”, no injuries were sustained. We looked up at Joshua Trees, we looked up at the Milky Way (there was a new moon, and the stars were legion), we looked up on stage and saw some of our favorite people and bands there: @thebandcracker, #campervanbeethoven, #theminus5, @jesegel, @monksofdoom, @krummenacher, @greglisher, The Dangers, on and on and on. I can’t talk about Campout without thanking Velena Vego. Besides keeping me involved graphically, Velena herds the cats and makes the whole thing happen. We were given the royal treatment by David Basham, who (in the most punk rock way possible) badly cut his hand on the first leg of the tour. Thank you to @natswope for his expertise and care - the posters are super beautiful (if I do say so myself), and all 500 are gone. Crazy! This was a mini-reunion (of sorts) of the KZSC-Santa Cruz crew. Turns out @davidclowery had a show on KZSC, too. That is where our dear friend Holly introduced me to my future husband @ajpinecone and frequent collaborator and buddy Phil. The four of us travelled well together. I want to make a larger gathering happen. It’s time to get the Porter crew back together (where I first met the Campers). The kindness of all the people at Campout will keep me floating for a good long while. People gave me gifts. Many people knew my name. I’m sorry if I didn’t know yours. If you’re reading this, please DM me so I can follow you on this here Instagram thing. The Cramper fans are an amazing bunch, and I’m glad we got to hang out for a couple of days. I’ll see you at the SF shows, ok? Also! Thank you to @mark_todd, @estherpearlwatson, and @goldenarrowjoshuatree for a spectacular place to stay. It was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably decorated. Go stay there! xx, m
Adieu, #beachblanketbabylon ❤️
