Coachella 2010 - Day 2

If you check out one band from Coachella make it Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros (check out their track titled "Home"). No idea where these guys came from, but they stopped the show with their act. They laughed, dance, sang and crowdsurfed with more enthusiasem than any other band I've ever seen...

A Musical Adventure in Asia

 

On our 8th day in Istanbul Ross and I cast ourselves from the "comfort" of the Paradise hotel and onto the streets of Istanbul in search of our next adventure. Wandering into a coffee shop with wireless we set our gear down and went about researching our next move. Greece seemed to be calling. But leaving Istanbul without crossing over to Asia sounded foolish.

Something you should know about Ross, is that you want to know him. And so do a lot of other people. He made more friends in a week in Istanbul, than most people make in an entire year. That's how we ended up on the Asian side of Istanbul, with some of the most kind hearted and generous people we have met thus far.
