Disneylanding: Hey Team, What a great day of Disneylanding! Now THAT is how time should be killed (or at least maimed and left for dead). It’s hard to beat roaming around the happiest place on Earth with friends and seeing all those old acquaintances I thought were long gone while being sucked into the most impressive fantasy […]    read more

Baby Changes: Hey Team, Just a really quick update today. Dr. Tiki and I are going to try to distill our toxic brew on Thursday so the video of that should be up by this weekend and I’m sure it will be awesome (read: a fun disaster)! More importantly it doesn’t look like much has happened on the site […]    read more

What a Tangled Web We’ve Woven: Hey Team, Since it takes a few days for cornmeal, sugar and yeast to become a potent and disgusting alcohol I’ve had a lot of free time the last couple days. I wouldn’t say I’ve been KILLING time necessarily because it’s not something I’ve been doing on purpose and I wouldn’t consider myself homicidal (chronocidal?). So, […]    read more

Disaster Looms: Hey Team, After a long hiatus from crossing stuff off the list thanks to one scheduling failure after another spanning most of the country I finally feel back on track after today. I packed up the goods (mostly corn meal, sugar and a bucket) and met up with Dr. Tiki at an undisclosed location (well into international […]    read more

Is Horse Feed Really a Good Idea Anyway?: Hey Team, I’ve been reading quite a bit about moonshine lately since I’ve recently decided I don’t want to poison myself like so many ill-advised hillbillies before me. As a result I felt pretty confident when I set out this afternoon to hunt down some grain for the “mash” to start the fermentation process. A quick […]    read more

Nightmares: Hey Team, Every since I was very young I’ve had a problem with terrible nightmares. Sometimes it’s not so much that they’re gruesome, or even “scary,” it’s often just a matter of how extraordinarily vivid they are. I can’t exactly remember when this became a problem…as far back as I can recall I would lie awake […]    read more

#3 Sleep in a Lighthouse! [podcast]: Hey Team, The much delayed/ballyhooed podcast featuring your’s truly’s adventure in a lighthouse is here! Check it out. “Amtrekker travels to Frankfort, MI to sleep in the 150 year old Point Betsie lighthouse (one of the most photographed lighthouses in America). Watch as he offers up a Cribs style tour of his overnight digs! Hip-Hop ensues.” Loading… And here’s the […]    read more

Wholesale Slaughter: Hey Team, I rode the motorcycle up to Northern California yesterday to meet with a couple of friends I haven’t seen in a very long time. It seemed like a simple enough procedure and in many ways it was…it just wasn’t a very comfortable ride. Turns out this is also butterfly mating season here in California and […]    read more

New Occupation: Used Car Salesman?: Hey Team, I’m strongly considering selling my car. It’s been sitting around somewhere in California for over a year now and in the intervening time two very important things have happened. 1) I’ve learned how to travel the entire country without my own mode of transportation and 2) I’ve ostensibly run out of money. Here’s what I’m […]    read more

Where Oh Where Has My Amtrekker Gone…: Hey Team, Still a lot going on over here and there are probably quite a few explanations in order. First things first: My bus pass expired! Never thought I’d have mixed feelings about this one. I’m SUPER excited that I don’t feel obligated to take the bus everywhere anymore and if I get my way (unlikely) […]    read more
