Hi Friends, we’re just back from a complete fun tourista episode of NYC including the double-decker bus lower Manhattan tour, the Central Park horse carriage loop, Strawberry Fields and the collection of roses for John, the illegal sidewalk vending at Canal Street with some excitement from an undercover cop, pizza in the Village, the number 1 train underground, the taxis that only rarely touch the ground ‘cuz they’re careening off of bumps in the road, and the best of all—visiting really good people. Big fun!

It's great to be back and for this week we’re pulling together the revolution to play the streets of Escondido as part of the Festival Escondido. The whole gang will be intact and then mix that up with the excellent street vibe and some magic ought to brew. I hope to see you there. Look below for the fine print…

that’s it, Peter
