I have been to many, many festivals in my life, but DirtyBird Campout is something unique- it’s fun for adults!

Angkor Wat: an Empty, Hidden Treasure
Some depressing poetry to fit the mood of this beautiful, ancient place that was abandoned after Buddhists took power in Cambodia. This bus window reminds me of Los Angeles, of dodging people dried out by drugs and the sun, drunk wanderings and eating Thai food.
