On The Road With Mark 'Odd Job' Jaffe: Dec 22-23, 2009

"Truck-worthy Friend Trio"

It's been a few weeks coming but I've finally finished going through the photos I took on my journey before Christmas accompanying Mark Jaffe on a two-day excursion of truck driving and food delivery (documented live here).

"Mark Jaffe, Roadmaster, And His Chariot"

It was a fascinating, exhausting trip, which I will share in greater detail soon, but for the time being here's a photo slideshow I've put together. You can view it below or in larger, fullscreen glory here (recommended).

Alternatively, if you don't like slideshows you can view the whole group of 55 photos here.

Your Arsenal

Continuing the non-ending excitement of the weekend, we went to
Bannerman Island today, and I will tell you that it was completely
fucking awesome. This was the last weekend they are doing tours this
year, but I recommend heartily that you check it out next year.

Remains Of The Summer Days

August is upon us and it's time that we now begin feeling that tickle of dread that, perhaps, summer is coming to a close. It seems like just a minute ago I was basking in the glorious promise of May and now it's nearly August and I all I can think of is immense heat and the rapidly approaching footsteps of Autumn.

In the spirit of holding onto to The Now (and The Yesterday) I put up photos tonight from my trip to New Hampshire last week. Words can't describe how relaxed I felt and how great the week was; however, it's of course deprarious that I've spent this week in response being housebound-level sick. Sigh.

Anyway, photos are up on Flickr here (or an album view reverse here).

And then a few more photos below of "outtakes":

Photos: Oneonta, New York -- July 3-5, 2009

I finally got back all of the rolls of film I shot at home in Oneonta--save the one I accidentally destroyed above--from the July 4 Holiday Weekend a few weeks ago.

They're all up on my Flickr now here (or you can see "the set" in reverse order here). All were shot in film, mostly with my Pentax Asahi K1000 and 50mm F2, and then with my stepfather's Nikon FM2n and Sigma 28-80 F2.8-4.

Also looming on the horizon on the photography front:

--photos from last weekend in New Hampshire

--Mini Men's Photo Club Night: 3200 In Darkness LES Experiment

--More odds and sods

A Night In Gay Paris

I've now finally posted the last portion of photos from my June Euro trip, covering my 24 hours spent wandering around Paris June 13-14. It was a strange experience, as I had made no plans, spoke no French and knew nothing bout the city, but I just grabbed my camera and some cigarettes and wandered all over the 6th and 7th arrondissements and took it easy while taking it all in. And it was magical.

You can view all Paris photos here, plus the Berlin photos here, and other photos-from-travel here.

Stay tuned for Boston, Hell's Kitchen, and more to come.

Bus Wheeling Again

On the road home again from upstate. Apparently Adirondack Trailways has finally upgraded their buses to include wifi and power outlets--kudos to them and nice for we who must spend too long in their shitty overpriced buses ($90 roundtrip to home.... by bus?? gah). Of course, my experience so far has been no more than 10 minutes of uninterrupted wifi at a time before losing it for 30 min or more... but I suppose it's better than nothing.

The Eyes (And Spokes) of Boston

The little feller above is a groundhog I chased under this barn. We are in the middle of a 5 minute staredown.

I've had an amusing and quaint weekend in Boston. I knew it was set to rain for much of the time but I brought my bike anyway--the forecast on Friday evening in Boston was looking like I would have a window of a few hours with either little or perhaps even no rain and I felt like chancing it. It turned out to be a good move, as there was no rain at all and the weather was in fact quite beautiful.

Of course, it wouldn't have been a Fung Wa adventure without something unexpected happening, which in this case turned out to be that the bus driver decided to drop us all at the Prudential T stop rather than the South Station terminal 1.5 miles away. 1.5 miles isn't necessarily a big deal on a bike, but it's a little more so when you've been dropped off in a city with which you are entirely unfamiliar and your iPhone battery is nearly dead. I had taken the time to print out maps of a specific route i'd chosen to take me from South Station to my grandparent's house in Holbrook, taking care to avoid highways and certain other roads. But I had to sort the first part of the trip out the window since it made no sense to trek all the way east to South Station just to have a map to follow. Instead I just headed off on my own and made my way, missing a few turns and rolling through a sort of less than great hood or two, but overall it turned out ok. The route I took, about 16 miles long, is below:

Map #1 Prudential T Station (Boston) to Gram's (Holbrook)

View Larger Map

The next day we went to my Uncle Tom's house in Rochester, MA. I hadn't planned on biking but the weather turned out to be nice and my mom encouraged me to roll, so I sat down with my phone (no computer internets) and planned out a 34 mile trip taking me from Routes 139 to 18 to 28. The ride was pretty great minus a headwind for the first 10 miles, but for the last 24 I think I was riding about as fast as I've ever ridden, as the whole trip took me about 1 hour 45 minutes (an average of around 19mph). I had emailed my bike bro Mike D right before I left to let him know I'd be biking down in his homeland and texted me minutes after I arrived in Rochester to give me advice on a better course than the one i'd chosen... Haaa, yes, of course. Next time, I guess.

Map #2 Gram's (Holbrook) to Uncle Tom's (Rochester)

View Larger Map

I wanted to bike back to Holbrook too but it was 7 when we left and starting to rain and I figured I was probably more tired than I wanted to believe, so I rode in the car with the fam.

I fell asleep that night around 11:30 (also so the previous night) and woke up this morning at 7:30 to pack my things and say goodbye to the grandparents before heading on my way to my other uncle Rob's house in Easton. I found a route on my phone that looked good, said Adieu, and set off on the 14 mile journey.

Map #3 Gram's (Holbrook) to Uncle Rob's (Easton)

View Gram's to Rob's in a larger map

The ride was pretty nice--there was a very very light rain but the air was warm and part of the trip went through a pretty park loop so I was happy.

When I got to my uncle's, I was invited to drink a cup of coffee while relaxing in his new hot tub and my unfamiliarity with such things made the experience feel rather luxurious. We shot the shit for a few hours and he made me an omelette and then I got ready to leave around 11:15 to ride from there to Back Bay Station in Boston where I planned to catch my 2:30 bus back to New York

Of course, as I was putting my still-damp bike clothes back on, I realized that their new puppy Toby had found my stuff and had his way with one of my socks and one of my flip flops:

This dog was incredibly cute and, on the plus side, the hole was in the top part of the sock and the sandle straps are still attached, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was still silly.

Unfortunately, right after I left the house it started POURING rain and continued to do so the entire 24 miles to Boston. I had put my computer inside of a garbage bag within my pack, but I was concerned for its safety, and of course the bag--with my camera and clothes and books--was pretty heavy. Worst of all though was the fact that about 7 miles into the ride I blew out the back tire tube on an empty stretch of Rt 138 and had to stop and change it (photodocumented on-the-go here). Thankfully I made sure not to be an unprepared idiot before I left NYC and brought along a spare tube, my pump and tire levers, and was able to make this the first and only time I've ever been able to change a tube on this bike without popping one first or having great assistance from others nearby. After changing the tube I hopped back on my bike and got on my way again, enjoying an otherwise uneventful--albeit very wet--ride into Boston.

Map #4: Uncle Rob's (Easton) to Back Bay T Station (Boston)

View Larger Map

I finally made it to Back Bay Station around 1:40 and I very happy proceeded immediately to the nearby restroom to change out of my wet stuff and wipe the sand and dirt off of me before putting on some (relatively) dry clothes. I then called Cabbie for help on finding the exact location of the bus pickup (thanks Cabbie, you always make winning easier when life confuses me) and went out back to stand in line for the bus... at which point the ticketman approaches me and informs me that there ain't no bikes allowed on the fancy double-decker Megabus.

Thankfully I managed to plead ignorance with the man and convinced him to let me take the bike and now, here I am typing this lengthy post. Challah.

Hi, Jess.

Megabus Is Nice But They Don't Allow Bikes

Finally made it to Boston after all the rain and silliness but got to Back Bay Station and found out the Megabus doesn't allow bikes because it's a double-decker and has no underneath storage. Gah!

Hilariously on Friday morning I called both Boltbus and the Fung Wa Chinatown dudes ahead of time to confirm that they would let me bring my bike; after being reassured by both that, "Yes, duh" I didn't bother calling Mega since I assumed the same would be true. WRONG! PLANNING FAIL! Whoops!

Luckily I was able to sweet talk the PT Barnum ticket-taker by telling him that i'd called and they said I could bring the bike, but I had to take the wheels off and load it on after everyone's else's stuff and reassure the man that under no circumstances was anyone but me liable for the care and safety of my cycle. Not a problem, I assured him, and now here I am on the bus sending emails on blogging on my laptop courtesy of the Megabus wifi.

Would I recommend Megabus? Yes, to anyone not bringing a bike it is completely awesome--wifi w/power outlets, healthy legroom, tables for laptops, very clean. Just don't bring yr whip.

And now, homeward bound.

Pains of Biking Too Long In The Rain

Got a flat in the middle of a very rainy ride from Easton MA to Back Bay Station in Boston. Not fun. But at least i was able to change it, so certainly could have been worse!

Au Revoir, Paris

My time in Paris was incredibly brief and now is just about over. I'm at De Gaulle now waiting for my flight to leave in about 30 minutes. I'm sad to go home but looking forward to being able to be in New York and actually be relaxed for a while. Now I just have to figure out how to get back here soon.

Anyway, the photo above is how I spent three hours of my day today: cafe au lait, two Heinekens, french onion soup (gratinee Paris), croque madame and many cigarettes. Fucking brilliant.

Last cigarette of Europe below. See you soon, New York. Berlin, we'll be in touch.

UPDATED: At 5 AM In Paris The Streets Are Clean (With Photos)

Many hours and one pack of French Marlboro reds later, I arrived home
last night at 5am after wandering the streets of the Left Bank for
hours and hours. I thought about continuing all night but my feet were
tired and my soul was sore.

I was surprised that during my entire walk from 1:30 to 5 am, I found
not a single open bar except the one in front of the apartmen I'm
staying in. At around 4 I finally passed a club under a bridge on the
river but at that point it was mostly nighttime spillage.

In all, it was an evening alone to myself, with my thoughts and my
music. After buying cigarettes at 9, I spoke to no one the entire
night except a man on a bike who stopped me around 3:30 and said as he
rode by, "It's nice taking photos of Paris at night, isn't it?".

Yes, my friend. Here's a few I took last night:

Last Chance To Dance Strance

I'm finally really at the end of my trip. It's 1:45 am in Paris on
Saturday night and tomorrow is my last day before I board the plane
home at 7.

It's been a beautiful night in Paris and I've spent the last hour
listening to Deerhunter and lying half-awake on the fields of Parc du
Champs des Mars in front of the Tour Eiffel. I had sort of
contemplated trying to find some secret rad French club or dive and
stay up all night, talking to strangers and getting drunk and swimming
in the world, but I'm basically too exhausted too commit to anything
like that on my own right now. I went to bed around 8:30 am this
morning after a long crazy night out with friends and then woke up at
11 still feeling alcohol in my body and at this point I guess it just
needs to be enough that I'm even still awake. As much as I've seen and
done while on this trip, I know feel like there are five million more
things I am excited about doing now and just want to get started on.
But really, I need rest, somehow.

It's strange to think I'll start work again on Monday, though in fact
I've been working periodically for at least a bit of each day since
our conference ended on Monday. But of course, I ain't complaining.

Penultimo

My rented "fahrrad"--just 6 euros a day

I have finally booked my ticket to Paris, departing from Berlin tomorrow afternoon and getting into Paris at 6:30pm.

Unlike the comfort I have been able to experience here in Germany with my peck-Deutsch, I speak no French. More than that though, I have never been to Paris before, I know almost nothing about it, and I have more or less no idea what I will do there over the 18 hours I have before I must get to De Gaulle Airport on Sunday to fly home to New York. However, in yet another stroke of good luck, a friend of a friend who lives there is going to be out of town but has offered me the option of crashing in her apartment for the night, which is rad because apparently she lives in the heart of the city. I have more or less decided to forgo sleep for the evening and just make my way through the city, but i'm happy to have somewhere to stash my bags while I wander. If anyone has any suggestions for me (particularly of the non-standard, visual variety), I would be all ears.

I have a feeling that I am going to be a tired man when I get home on Sunday, and for the week to follow. I am one of those people who usually comes off vacations more exhausted than I was before I started, because I feel less inclined to sleep and more inclined to maximize my awakeness/new experience enjoyment factor. This trip has been no different.

I guess, most importantly, I feel like i'm ready now finally to close the book on one phase of my life and begin moving onto another. I skipped my college reunion last month, but i'm definitely feeling a "five years out" thing right now where the life I've had over the past five years seems to have run its course and now it's time for me to begin transitioning--I emphasize "transition" rather than "change everything, absolutely, now!"--into where I need to go next. The nice thing is that I don't feel like I've had a five year block of one thing and now it's time for a five year block of another thing--this transition into "phase two" began slowly and naturally about eighteen months ago, and I'm sure will continue slowly and naturally over the next eighteen months. The only difference is my implication that a few specific things in my life that may change--my job and where i'm living, mainly--are the kinds of things that may produce over-night results in the "whoa, it's all different!" factor.

Anyway, it's all sorta bullshit until things start happening, but I guess I feel like they already are.

I'm going to go out now for another bike ride and enjoy my last 30 hours in Berlin.

Rain Washing Us Clean

"If elections made anything happen, they would be forbidden."

-Kurt Tucholsky

--------

Today is my eighth day in Berlin and I have two more after today before I fly to Paris for a quick night there before, on Sunday, heading home.

It is raining but the sun is shining and nothing will deter me from feeling that everything is possible (because it always is).

I feel like I am metaphysically on the cusp of something big and new; or, perhaps I am riding a wave to my next destination--insert whatever metaphor might be appropriate here. Everything around me is sparks and crackles***.

Now I am going swimming.

LISTEN:

Lately I am LOVING Daniel Johnston to pieces, particularly 1990 and Artistic Vice.

-- Daniel Johnston - "My Life is Starting Over Again", from Artistic Vice

-- Daniel Johnston - "Tell Me Now", from Artistic Vice

-- Beck - "True Love Will Find You In The End," Daniel Johnston cover from The Late Great Daniel Johnston

-- And go here for five versions of Daniel Johnston's amazing "Somethings Last A Long Time" (from a Hyperliving post last year)

NOTES:

*** - One of the side effects that always happens while I vacation is that I almost immediately lose interest in tracking the sports news that I obsessively follow everyday in the States. As much as I love following sports, I think that doing so is also a bit of a lifesuck, and only when I am REALLY gone do I have the headspace to step back and think, Wow, i feel liberated. Dirk, I am truly sorry--especially being here in your homeland!!!--but I guess THIS is what it takes for me to unclench the iron vise grip that basketball has on my mind in spring.
