I got an email last week from illustrator Richard Downs inviting me up to see him in Nevada City [CA]. He said that he’d be appearing that Saturday as a giant Spanish puppet [Higante] in a children’s parade with his wife Gwyn’s Afro-Cuban drumming ensemble at the annual World Music Festival. How could I refuse, especially on the heels of the Stauffer-stock Karaoke sing-off the night before in San Rafael? It was a hippy- dippy, tie dyed weekend, that’s for sure. Here are a few pix to prove I’m not exactly bull-shittin’ you, man!
