Ventura, CA

Thursday December 7, 2006

     9:58am  We are walking to the bus stop in front of the hotel we scored breakfast at that one morning. We're walking to the bus stop. We still have until ten fifteen. Carol told me, "You wait here. I'm going to get go get us some cinnamon rolls." She's going to walk in there and just take food. That's awesome.

     10:05am  Score!

     10:24am  The bus came. We're on our way to Turning Point.

     12:07pm  I walked my happy ass all the way to Harbor and Sanjón. Flying my HOOK A BROTHER UP/SMOKE A BROTHER OUT sign along with my WPTMJ. Hell yeah.

     12:15pm  I just got a two dollar donation, awesome. They told me, "The other one is better. Hook a brother up." Not the World Peace Through Marijuana one.

     1:30pm  I have to follow the signs. I was having fun flying my signs out there. Hook a brother up. Smoke a brother out. This carload of kids drove by and pulled up. Which sign did you guys see? Smoke a brother out. I'm getting smoked out. We're driving around now. Driver: "Do a lot of people pick you up?" Nah, you guys are the first.

     2:23pm  Edward, at the bus stop here at, umm right in front of this cafe. He hooked me up with a cigarette. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     3:02pm  The bus driver wouldn't give me a courtesy ride. I always tell them that I'll walk it if I have to, so I did. I walked to the Circle K. Somebody hooked me up with a little weed today, so I figure I'll go and wait until someone cool walks up to the Circle K, offer to smoke them out if they'll give me a ride. Sure enough, I called that shit. What was your name, brother? Nick came out of the Circle K and I hit him up. He was on his way to Market and Telephone where I needed to go. Fuck the bus driver. See, I didn't have to walk that far after all. Thanks a lot, brother.

     3:17pm  Cual es el nombre de el restauran? Las Sarnas Mexican Grill. El señor amable en Las Sarnas me esta dando gasolina para mi estomago. Te lo agradezco, señor. Todo el mundo recibe credito, gracias.

     5:56pm  Carol: "Today we got up and went to Turning Point and did laundry. I went to the Welfare Office. They told me that they couldn't help me today. I told her, "I'm hungry so I'm going to go rob a store and get some food." She told me I would go to jail. I told her, "Great, then I'll have a warm place to sleep and three meals." She said, "Okay, we'll get you in right now." I'm glad we came to the one here in Ventura and not the Oxnard one I went to yesterday, where I spent four hours for them to tell me I had to go to the Ventura one. So that really sucked. We went to the Ventura one and got in and out. Victor came down from Turning Point and he did his application. He's gotta go back tomorrow. He'll have food stamps tomorrow. I got three hundred dollars in food stamps, because they took some away last month from Humboldt. So, that's good. We're going to get Victor an ID. Other than that everything's chill, chill, chill. Victor's standing on the corner spreading his word. The bus just came by and all these people were looking at it and stuff. He got some guestbook entries on his website from Bakersfield, which is pretty cool."

I saw you today (12/4) on Truxtun Ave. in Bakersfield. I was in the white Toyota. I told you I would check out your site and I did. Interesting stuff, man. Keep on doing what you are doing. Your sign "world peace through marijuana" definately put a smile on my face. It is so simple, yet so true.

Next day..
