Santa Barbara

On the road again. try to find an doctor that Betty refer us... he changed clinic.. 3000000 calls latter we show up at the new good place... it's close . closed at like noon.
merdeee...
jmecrapoutie au sol. crying of desperation.
but after feel good. the stress is out. I should survive 2 more days.. as tomorrow is Sunday so will go to monday.. but I have good friend that are going to assist me.
We played aki-sac. and this guy show up. told us our life and play aki with us. was great haha. gave us a new aki. found some veggie oil. filter the oil.
Bashu made us laugh a lot. playing with words with an old man.




Drive to a farm the guys have been before... but it's too late.. ends up to be dinner time.. so we just stop buy some yummy organic food and had a pic-nic  =)  met Julian ( the guys knew him he works at the farm and will be around at farmer's market!)
Decided to find a Whole food to go busk.
Security Agent had a powertrip after Bashu,. no reason. really sucks and made us think a lot.
drive to santa-barbara. downtown.
start busking.. it's friday night. bars night... we dont really know the good music for busking at night.
Busking experience advice:
Be sure to be well dress.
Means that when you busk if you want to make money you have to play the good songs at the good place at the good peoples. we play what we like at farmers market and it works. but at night when people are drunk you need to sing stupid shit that everybody know to get their attention,...
anyway.
practice/busk in an arch of a closed store.
met those 3 guys. pushing us to show them what we got. did a crazy jam. funny.
they are about to leave but they cameback and invite us to come over to the house of the oldest one maybe 35-38?!.. and the others 28 and 22. invite us to jam and have showers and sleep there.
They will comeback in an hour. Deal.



They camebackdrunk. from the bar an hour after haha and we all drive to their place. they bought beers haha.
It's a pretty big house. he lives there with his son and Lambo. the other guy.
They played electric guitar and drum and made a fire in the fireplace. there is this big amazing  big dog. super nice.
animals are soo good. Go smoke with lambo in his room. great conversation. nice guy.
Big fatty with ash.. ehehehhe. but I didnt drink for the purge! proud. just one beer...huhu
He gave me a lot of weed ( but I forgot it on his table and the door was lock when I wake up and we left..)
talk about life. love. expectation of people. told me part of his life. dreams.believes. really interesting.

putting all my energy hoping to surf soon. hopefully. man I need to surf at least one time in Californie. As soon as my leg feel better! I dont know how but Im going to surf.
He want to go around the world in a submarine.
after super high... shower :) wow.
his boy is there with his friend. he is like 15. funny they play music and went to bed. I play ukulele next to the fireplace. to bashu to fall asleep. made Steve ( the owner of the house) cry as I remind him an old friend playing ukulele while cannot trip.
It's raining outside.

Decide to go nap ion the park with Bryce and Anna. brought our sleeping bag in the grass.. it's quiet it's sunny but coldish. it's great.wake up feel way better happier. more clear. roll and play with Anna and Bryce in the grass and meet back to the van. decide as Bashu really want to .. to go to the pot luck first and to stay just a little bit and to drive to the jazz show after..
Stay with Anna and we smoke weed before meeting back the guys at the pot luck.
haha fuck.. so funny. kinda high and it's so hard to find which house it is.. finally ask and found it.
super nice artistic spiritual house. beauty decoration..
we show up inside. uhho. kids around playing with instruments  people sitting around like in their  40's .. oups kinda awkward but finally they are super sweet and loved us. they are gypsies and musicians.
Fiona she is one of the owner of the house and she is amazing. she had travel the world by herself. and now going back to school in art. she is great had a lovely girl.and yeah.
great food. and more and more people show up and it became a big jam. super impressive like hand drums violin, accordion, guitar, ukulele, everything. maybe 15-20 persons all with their instrument. Gypsies music <3
So but so inspiring to see how complex and good the music is. can't wait to travel and get inspired by music from around the world. such a unique experience.

Fiona invited us to sleep at her place on the second floor... looks like an attic but renovate in a big room. full of mattress and treasure super magic =) all sleep up there.
