Friends. What's up?
I, I-Town Petersen, will be in Edinburgh for the Fall, pending a criminal background check. This is no small feat for yours truly, so wish me luck, and I would like to thank you much much for your kind words when I was deciding between Parliament and NOLS oh so many weeks ago.
I will also be driving down to the states in late August with a wonderful, rad, smart, kind and generous friend from my childhood (also my prom date/prom queen. not to brag...). As such, I will be spending at least a few hours in Seattle, Portland, Salem, Eugene and Medford on my way to Ashland for OSF. It would be a tremendous understatement to say I am out of the loop, but judging from your kind letters and overwhelming blogs, it seems as if at least a few of you might still be in the USA. What I'm getting at here is I would very much like to see whomever I can before I ditch this country for 4+ months. I'll try and take responsibility and make some phone calls, but feel free to call me as well if you think you fit the profile. Finally, if anyone is game, Death Cab is closing Bumbershoot on Monday September 1, and I am almost definitely going.
If it's not already apparent, yes, Timm and I are back in civilization. We flew into Anchorage yesterday afternoon, and Timm is leaving for CA Sunday, so we have less than four days to experience as much of this seemingly boundless state as possible. And two of those days we will be playing in a Frisbee tournament. We will probably have to recount the many, many, MANY amazing stories we have to share separately, since we will be parting ways so soon. But rest assured, we are home safe, and quite content with our decision to spend seven and a half weeks in Naknek, AK. And while I can't speak for Timm, and he can't really speak for himself since he's sleeping like a champ, I am fairly confident he shares my desire to see as many of you fools as possible before leaving on his next big adventure.
Much love
I Town

Nice. Good to hear from you. I might be in Scotland from December 15th to the 20th visiting my sister who is moving there. Perhaps I will see you there, and if you are interested in some central valley adventures you are welcome to come to Davis any time....
I am in Portland, Oregon, not too far from where all of the magic began in the land of sky bridges and meth labs two fateful years ago. Actually, I just visited that fine city today. I will be in Oregon for about three more weeks, so please come visit me on your upcoming journey. It would be especially radical if you came on the 17th, when people will be gathered at my family's house for a celebration of summer's glory.
ian give me a call when you're in medford/ashland. we should definitely hang out.
I'm so happy to hear about scotland!! i want to hear the deets later
I still live amongst sky bridges, meth labs and adult video stores. Fear ye not! Would be cool if I got to see you and hear about your chummy adventurous times up in AK.
BUMBERSHOOT, If you are only going for the monday, I am going to go ahead and throw out a few recommendations... See Monotonix (from Isreal, search them on youtube, they are fucking insane), Two Gallants, BATTLES, Flobots, Minus the Bear and then Death Cab... I know that basically plans out the whole day for you, but those are who I would go to see
We should talk. I will be around those same parts sometime soon. Hooray. I will call you when I get back to the west coast...
Save travels!
