Sunday brought the 2016 edition of the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival to Midtown, shutting down 5th Avenue from 49th to 57th.
Looking damn good for over one hundred years old.
Saul Williams, Rough Trade NYC /
On Friday, January 29th Saul Williams released MartyrLoserKing, his first studio release since 2011's Volcanic Sunlight. In support of this album, he announced a long string of dates in Europe. The first date (and one of two stateside) was a free show at Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg on Tuesday the 2nd.
All songs performed in the short set were pulled from MLK and things got hype when CX Kidtronik jumped down to help perform No Different.

For my last blog about the trip, here are the last nine national parks I visited.
I can't stress enough how incredible our American national parks are. I don't have the words to describe how it felt to take the short hike to Hidden Lake at Glacier and try to make sense of the unreal Bearhat Mountain or to stand a foot away from elk cows against the setting of a hot spring at dusk on an overcast day while the male was rounding up the rest of his harem in Yellowstone.
Utah's Mighty Five surprised me in every way possible. Traveling that state from east to west and witnessing the landscape changed is something I will always recommend to any one in the area.

Phase Five (9/11 - 9/28) /
This last phase was the home stretch. I entered back in to the United States on 9/11 to call my grandmother for her birthday and swerve through incredible national parks on my way back to El Paso.
In this time I was able to meet Gary Greff, the mastermind behind the Enchanted Highway, hung with Byron Seeley, the man behind Monk King Bird Pottery in Jeffers City, Wyoming, and spent a full day aimlessly wandering the Vegas strip taking pictures.
