Desert Hot Springs to Thousand Palms to Indian Wells to Palm Desert, CA
Saturday October 30, 2004
7:20am I've got an update to make. I had a good wakeup call at about six. This guy came in and woke me up, telling me I couldn't sleep here. That I had to be a truck driver. This other brother was crashed out too. I had two cigarettes left and I offered him one. I even smoked him out. I told him my story and he said he's going to take me to this underground headquarters. I'll talk about it later.
7:22am Evarisco me dio algo. No lo entendi en mi grabacion. Perdon.
7:29am Chris is the cool brother I smoked out this morning. He said he's going to take me to some cool place. Give me a recap Chris.
Chris: "I woke up this morning and I'm offered a cigarette and some weed. I heard this brother's story and I agreed to take him to my underground station. I've got a whole underground world that's full of different networks. Resources galore. It's going to be a lovely travel. I'm going to show him the cyber network."
7:34am I'm over here loading up my stuff. There's a TV on and I'm hearing John Kerry talking. He's saying, "We're not going to stop until we kill and destroy the terrorist." Man, it's all the same family. Nobody's gotta die.
7:37am I took a picture of Chris. He said, "Let me see your scarf." He put it around his head.
8:07am I came over to this homeless squat with Chris in Thousand Palms. This homeless dude, I took a picture of his stomach. He's got some strange deformation connected to it. He's giving birth, hehe. He's got a spare penis, haha. You'll see it.
8:15am We came to the bus stop. I have four bucks. I'm going to go and get some cigarettes. This brother just gave us a dollar.
He hooked it up with another dollar.
9:12am It turns out the bus doesn't run on Saturdays. We're walking to a bus stop where the bus does run. We're just right now passing the Westin sign that says Gary Player Signature Course Exclusively Nike Golf.
9:40am We walked down where the 80 bus passes. We'll need some transfers. Let me see how much money we have.
10:22am Armando nos dio el cambio que necesitamos para transfers. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.
10:55am Chris and I got off the bus to smoke cigarettes. I took a picture.
11:11am Nellie nos esta dando unos tacos. Te lo agradezco, señora. Todo el mundo recibe crédito, gracias.
11:28am Chris and I got hooked up phat at the Mexican restaurant. I don't know what the name of it is, but at 68820 whatever street this is in Cathedral City off the 111. This is good food. At first I thought she was going to give us a couple tacos, but she hooked us up with a whole meal. Rice, beans and hot sauce with lots of tortillas. We're all full now. Time for our after-meal smokes.
11:56am We walked by and Nene hooked us up with a dollar. I appreciate it, Nene. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
11:58pm We jumped on a bus. We're going to Palm Desert. We had gone to Carl's Jr. and Chris ordered a jalapeño burger. When the guy brought it out Chris told him we had ordered two. The guy went and double checked and we didn't get an extra one. We split the burger in half and ate it. We went outside and caught the bus and now we're on our way to Palm Desert.
12:05pm We're in Palm Desert now. We just passed some big mall. The River Theatre.
We just passed Bob Hope Drive. We're on Highway 111, passing Bob Hope Drive.
12:31pm We're still on Highway 111, in Indian Wells.
12:36pm Remember I said we're in Indian Wells? Because Chris fell asleep on the bus and we drove past Palm Desert. I woke him up and asked him, "Didn't you say we were going to Palm Desert? We're in Indian Wells now." Oh shit, we have to get off. We have to backtrack a little bit. Let's hop on the other side of the street and see if the bus driver will hook us up with a small ride back a little.
3:04pm Chris and I decided to take a nap in the shade on the grass by the bus stop. At El Dorado Drive and Highway 111. He had been dozing off on the bus so I suggested, "Hey man, do you want to go take a nap under that tree?" Perfect spot. I woke up like maybe fifteen minutes ago. We got up and the bus just zoomed by. We have to wait for the next one now. A whole other half hour to wait. That sucks. I'm going to smoke a cigarette and take off walking.
3:54pm We're still waiting for the bus hoping he'll give us a courtesy ride like four or five blocks. Chris didn't want to walk. I tagged the bus stop over here with Victor the Liberator. It should be there for a while.
If anyone wants to confirm come to the bus stop on El Dorado Drive and 111 and see for yourself. I shit you not.
3:57pm Good 'ol Gene driving the 111 bus is hooking us up with a ride back to where we passed up. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
4:00pm Back in Palm Desert. We got off on Cabrillo and we're going to walk the rest.
4:09pm We walked in front of the Palm Desert Body Accent Tattoos and Jason hooked me up with two cigarettes. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
4:20pm No-go at the Taqueria El Señor Sinaloense.
4:22pm Eric hooked me up with some beans at The Smokehouse. I appreciate it, brother.
I went back into The Smokehouse to get some water and Eric offered me some cornbread.
Cornbread goes great with BBQ beans. I really appreciate it, brother.
5:25pm Tommy hooked me up with some change. How old are you Tommy? Seven. Thanks, brother.
He volunteered it, I swear. See, the little kids know it's their world I'm trying to save.
6:24pm Dennis walked by in front of the Army place and gave me a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit.
6:36pm Damien hooked me up with a dollar for bus fare. I appreciate it, brother.
6:44pm I forgot to make an update. We came to McDonald's and I wrote up my On My Way To Save The World sign. Chris wants me to make my other one. The one with my mission-objectives I flew in Berkeley. Umm, I told him I'm not in it for the money. I just want people to know. We're going to try and get a motel room tonight.
6:47pm Tony hooked Chris up with a dollar for a bus ticket. He appreciates it, brother.
7:06pm Jeff hooked me up with a dollar outside of the Arby's. I appreciate it, brother.

9:45pm I came over to Dirty Nellies Irish Pub and Restaurant. I hit these kids up for my story. Kary hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. I didn't even ask. He offered it.
9:52pm Father Jim just offered to buy me a beer in front of Dirty Nellies.
Took a picture of white-trash and friend at Dirty Nellie's.
Man, I am having an awesome time here in the Desert Empire. Oh yeah, Chris is kind of pissing me off. He's critiquing me how I tell people off and call them ignorant when they ignore me. Anyway, he got hooked up with a nugget of weed. We got stoned and everything was cool. We were outside of that Dirty Nellie's bar. Since I got high I wanted to go tell those people my story. I had one guy's attention for a while. Then this priest, this father dude came outside and offered me a beer. I told him my platform and got his email address.
10:45pm This girl smiled at me at the Pizza Hut. She was with her dude. I went up to her and asked her, "Can I tell you my story? I'm not asking for anything. It's a free story." All of a sudden the bitch manager said, "Excuse me sir, you can't be in here bothering people!" I told him I wasn't asking for money or anything.
10:55pm Marteen hooked me up with some cookies. I only had eighty cents and they cost ninety nine. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.
11:55pm Chris and I came to the Macy's parking garage. We're going to crash in the elevator. Chris said he's crashed here before.
He's getting on my nerves. I might ditch him.
1:20am I just got woken up because I slept outside on the top floor. I wasn't in the elevator like Chris. The security guard drove up and told me I had to leave. Chris and I are going to find another place to crash. He says he's got lots of them
