I drove a big, old, powder blue Mercedes out to the Unarius Academy of Science aka UFO Cult headquarters... I was not quite sure what to expect, had done some prior research and watched some 70's Unarius propaganda films...
This place was more colourful and exciting than Disneyland.. It was like stepping inside a garden of eden themed snow dome and falling into a bucket of stardust.. the interior was covered with plastic flowers, roman columns and models of future citys and other galaxies. I WISH I could post pictures of the murals which incorporated UFOs, flamingos and rainbows..
I'm determined to post some of my pictures soon, it will happen.. I have been snapping lots of old, faded Americana signage.. Gemma Jones you would be in snap happy heaven!

Devo and Disneyland, Tijuana and Thrift Stores
Devo and Disneyland! what more can I say..
ahh Disneyland, the air is thick with sugar and chlorine, dreams and corn dogs.. Joy rapture!
I had a bicycle adventure and rode down to Tijuana.. stopping at thrift stores along the way.. Tijuana is really gorgeous, heaps of bright hand painted signs and Mariachi bands on every corner. First stop we ate taco's and drank horchata - delicious sweet rice milk, then rode around the crazy streets.. We found a little park and drank Mexican beer while the sun set.. then stopped at a local bar and listened to them sing along to old mexican songs from the juke box..
Just a little longer in San Diego then on to New York.. look out

Lone wolves and Cat Power
So I have made my little old way back to San Diego... I'll be bumming around here for a little while before heading over to New York.
In case you're wondering I didn't find myself a lone wolf yet, I have passed some on the street I am definitly in lone wolf territory. As a close second best I saw Cat Power play last night which was quite fantastic...

did you miss me...
Wee hee.. I have just arrived in San Francisco. Mumsy and I drove all the way from San Diego via San Jose, I do know the way to San Jose!
I had so much fun in San Diego I stayed with my friend Harry the Hat in the beach suburb of Southpark. I met some great peeps, we rode around on old push bikes, lounged in Balboa Park, ate mexican all day, climbed down cliffs to swim in the ocean and found some amazing op shops!! Phew..
I keep thinking about all my pretties back home and wishing you were just a tram stop away. I am taking heaps of pictures so you can see the wonders when I return, but some of my special Smellbourne pals should be here in person, there is so much here you would love...
This is the official call out..!!
Before I left there were a few of you who had the inkling to come to the states and I say DO IT NOW! it really is so fun here, much better than in the movies. they even have geodesic domes!! that people live in!!!
Oh also, I am contactable by mobile phone.. I'll send the number out to y'all personally..

in the good ole U S of A
Just a quick one for y'all... I'm here and safe... I have seen some amazingly tacky shop fronts and signs.. Psychic Shops offering palmistry and tarot card readings, all lit up with neon lights.. cosmic GOLD..
I watched a film called Black Sheep on the plane (courtesy of Air New Zealand) it was about genetically engineered sheep that become zombie like. They start to attack and eat people who in turn become sheep-human zombies..
Oh I discovered that uploading pictures is a drag, so until I discover a short cut they may be as scarse as hens teeth. sorry...
