MN to the Bay - Day 1

Just landed in Rapid City, South Dakota. I drove about 13 hours today, mostly in the rain. Been tripping out looking at this nature, wondering what the colonizers thought when they saw it for the first time.

Minneapolis was a trip!!! I got to see a dope art venue called Intermedia Arts - met my homie Sarah's friend, this dude who is touring a live cooking show. Such a dope concept! It's a one-man live cooking show, that combines politics, history, comedy and food - Diabetes of Democracy - focused on the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes in communities of color. This foo has been working on this idea for like 20 years and he's barely touring it. That's dedication.

Overall it felt good to know that I can find a home in art spaces all over :)

The night took a bad turn when I basically got too faded and both me and S were tripping out on this massive road trip that we were about to start. We got toooo paranoid.

Plus, it started POURING, flash flood status, with lightning and thunder. My stomach got weak and I was just feeling awful! I kept asking myself what the hell I was doing in Minnesota.

I woke up at 7 am and it was still raining, so naturally I went back to sleep. An hour later I woke up and the rain (along with my stomach) had cleared up. We had a good time on the road today, had good food, stopped to take all kinds of pictures, and I am not tired.

Ready for Day 2.:)

Much love!!!
