Home-Cooked Meal, #24

Geoff Ellis and Sarah Lacy, San Francisco, CA, 2008

A huge thanks to Geoff (Sadkids) Ellis and Sarah Lacy for the most amazing fried chicken I have ever had (I just had seconds, it is good!). Also, they have opened their home and their Guitar Hero to me this week (and they have generously donated to the project in the past!). We are going to a Giants game tomorrow. Good times.

I am off to Boonville, CA on Saturday.

Home-Cooked Meal, #23 (Thanks SFA!)

PBJ, Sarah Sudhoff, Nochadoches, TX, Feb., 2008

As I previously mentioned, Sarah Sudhoff invited me to be a guest lecturer at the Stephen F. Austin State University, in Nochadoches, TX. It went very well. I had a great time speaking, as well as hanging out with some of the photography students.

Sarah was very kind: putting me up for a few nights, giving me access to her shower, making me dinner two nights in a row, and being an all around killer host and good time. A big thanks to SFA, Sarah, Gary, and all of the students and faculty that made it out to hear all my babbling.

Home-Cooked Meal, #7

The Shore Family, Boonville, NC, September 29, 2007

I am currently in PA. I leave for B'ville, NY in a few minutes. I am introducing myself and the project at the Town's Chamber of Commerce meeting, tomorrow, at 8:30am. last week I called in to Boonville, New York's local radio station and did a quick interview. It was running this past week and I have gotten more then a handful of calls and emails from people offering support. I got a call from a husband and wife with 3 kids, a B&B owner, a single guy living just out of town and a few others, all offering up free places to stay.

Wow!
Boonville, New York: "Opening doors to vagabonds everywhere. Just come on in!" I love it.

I'm looking forward to getting back up to NY! This is where it all started, almost four years ago. It will be great to see how things have, or have not, changed. I can't wait...
