MAY 24, 2000 // THE FIRST SHOW AT SIMPLE PLEASURES CAFE

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Nobu, Stephanie, the English People, and Mulrooney were in attendance. I was very ambitious and self important about it. I recorded the show on a four track tape machine. I brought furniture from my house and a children's book.  I played the harmonica too loud and too long. People are so generous and forgiving.  If only I were the same, I wouldn't feel so embarrassed about my behavior, nor so guilty about receiving unconditional love. That's true from my present perspective. Also, at the time, the night seemed like a success, and fun.

MAY 5, 2000 // ADMIRAL GREEN LANDSCAPING

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

I was new to San Francisco and working for Terry Mulrooney’s Admiral Green Landscaping. Here is a photograph of the boss and his daughter on a day we were assembling planter boxes on the roof of his workshop.

APRIL 1, 2000 // FORESTVILLE

BODEGA BAY, CALIFORNIA

We drove up from Santa Cruz in the middle of the night. Stephanie drove really fast and aggressive. It was a bit stressful, the travel part was. We had fun in Forestville and on the coast though. She showed us some good spots and her parents made really good food. It was the first time I ever went to that part of the world.
