I just spent the night in Joshua Tree earlier this week. I was helping out some friends with a music video for an artist by the name of Butch Walker. The song is pretty good and I think its the single off his debut album coming out in about a week. Butch produces for artist such as P!NK and Avril Levine.
The desert was really nice and the weather was great. It wasn’t too hot in the day and it wasn’t too cold at night. It amazed me that it takes so little to get away from everything-all the traffic, people, TVs, nonsense that you get caught up in your everyday life. Its great to hang with a few good friends and not worry about time or being somewhere or checking emails (or writing on your blog for the matter).
We all cooked dinner at night sat around and shared laughs, wine and vodka while listening to Fleetwood Mac. Later, Butch and Bingo (the cool dude who ran the motel) played some good country acoustic tunes.

Sounds like a great getaway tar….Amazing just how close the gap is between the mundane and often artificial obligations of our lives are and the larger “laws” that nature instructs us on….Joshua tree is beautiful, and so close.
BW is an interesting cat, one much closer to my age than yrs….I seem to remember that he was staying at Fleas house in Malibu and lost everthing in the fires a bit ago. I look forward to the music.
Be well,
