  <div class="message">For me the simplicity of camping is rewarded by a welcome serenity and feeling of self-sufficiency that makes the lack of creature comforts and excess of crawly creatures more than worth it. For night 2 in Sioux City, I was also grateful for that thin layer of waterproof nylon that protected me from thunderstorms that began at 1:30am and lasted until I finally emerged for the day around 8:30am. My dreams were broken and populated with familiar faces in unfamiliar settings; with both potential violators and…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/from-the-road/blog/4209099/meniscus-synthesis">Read more</a></span></div>

  <div class="message">Just started a short solo tour yesterday in Sioux City, Iowa. Never been here before. Last night's show was a great success - a private party in the Morningside neighborhood at the gorgeous Latham Park. Today, on my day off, I've had a chance to see the city a little bit, although mainly through a bug-splattered windshield. My quick analysis is this: Sioux City offers a subtle and encroaching beauty through all of its sprawl and urban neglect. For every building that appears to have been a prop in an…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/from-the-road/blog/4203995/in-the-margins-of-decaf-and-decay">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>The first song I can remember hearing by Prince was when he ditched the bass and harnessed his electric falsetto for the 1986 smash “Kiss.” I must have been in 3rd grade and heard it in the morning carpool on Z100 on the way to school, in between the incessant banter of the drive-time DJs. It was so fresh - so artistic. I was really just learning about pop music at that time, and I think whatever curious surge of energy I felt was probably the unconscious prepubescent inkling of…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/from-the-road/blog/4159794/all-i-really-need-is-to-know-that-you-believe">Read more</a></span></div>

The ice shanties are long gone from the lakes, most of the ice has melted, and snow is now just another 4-letter word to file away for a rainy day. I've spent the last couple of weeks in my hometown of Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California.
