Hi folks. What a crazy, exhausting couple weeks. We’re looking so forward to coming back home. We had an intense and rewarding day Houston yesterday, preceded by 4 intense and rewarding days in New Orleans. Today is the home stretch, aka the voyage home. It’s like Apollo 13. We’ve spun around the moon, and gravity hurling us home. According to Google and Garmin, we’re only 21 hours away from LA… that’s 21 un-interrupted hours. Sadly, we’ve gotta eat, and get gas, and visit rest stops and such.

What a day in D.C.! Postcard perfect weather. Confused tourists. Art students. Lobbyists. Teachers. Etc. This video includes our first official “tour” of The Armadillo itself, including the planting walls, composting drum, and Armadillo butt comparisons (very scientific).

Our first official tour stop. The weather finally cleared and we got down to some serious “make your own planters out of recycled material” goodness. Special thanks to the Herring Run Watershed Association for hosting us!

Check out the little neighborhood girl at the end of the video… priceless.

Hi folks! Sorry for the delay, but (guess what), there’s not a lot of Internet service between LA and Colorado (especially the Arizona and Utah portions). Emily & Jon are safe and sound in Grand Junction CO… goal is to make it to Nebraska by tomorrow. Ya gotta have goals, right? Anywho, here’s some footage from blast-off on June 12, to the Grand Canyon, thru Utah, and finally… the Ramada in Grand Junction, CO. Highly recommend it. The night clerk is from Azusa. That’s gotta be a good sign.

MIT built a mobile community garden out of an actual FEMA Trailer deployed after Hurricane Katrina. On June 13th, we’re gonna go get it.

Please DON’T COME to Side Street’s 16th Annual Phantom Ball. Nobody ever has. Nobody ever does. This year’s “souvenir” print is by none other than Walead Beshty.
