Julia Dimon Interviews me for METRO
A little Q&A with my Word Travels co-host published in her Travel Junkie column in Canada’s METRO.
Modern Gonzo Does the Salsa - In which I get lost climbing a mountain in Patagonia, but find myself at a Salsa Bootcamp in B.C. Since Salsa is a sexy celebration of life through dance, I decided to learn a few steps from the pros, finding out more about this worldwide phenomenon as I maim my partners with my two left feet.
The World of Speed Dating - Load up on calamari and listen for the “bing!”, my time as a fill-in speed-dater is rife with humour and tragedy, kind of like normal dating with your finger on the fast-forward button. My past as a International Frisbee Oil consultant might come back to haunt me, but dating 75 women in three nights was a little more than I bargained for.
Hot Daze in San Diego - Porn stars and tuning cars roll up the United State’s obssession to reinvent itself, under the hood and under the bra. This hot weekend finds me sandwiched by playmates, line dancing with rednecks and recklessly endangering Marines with my ragged Mule. Viewer discretion is advised.
The Truth, and other Lies - A conspiracy theory convention in London reveals the truth behind Princess Di’s murder, the paradigm of disinformation, and where strange little men with computer tans spend their time. When facts don’t add up, people create theories, and those theories create nutters with disturbing facial hair.
Dodging Kooties in the Kooteneys - I’ve drowned in mud at Glastonbury, but Salmon Arm’s annual Shambhala music festival is a hippie-biker mecca all its own. Originally published in Terminal City, this report was later used by the organizers for their documentary, and features the now-legendary, 100% true anal probe scene.
