   June 5th 2005   
      
   I looked back at some records and found that it was exactly a year ago   
   today that I embarked on a trip to Tenerife and Spain. At that time I   
   was surrounded by ever increasing piles of stuff requiring compression   
   into various suitcases but now all I'm really doing is compressing my   
   music collection onto my IPOD. There's this cool gadget called ITRIP   
   that lets you play the pod onto your car radio, which will make it easy   
   to stay groovy in the car. But I digress. This trip to Joburg has come   
   about due to the fact that the movie that I've been working on over the   
   last few years is finally nearing completion, and it only needs me to   
   track down some footage in Joburg. 30 betacam tapes to be exact. Last   
   year I went to Spain to film Dennis Mckenna, well known ethnobotanist   
   and brother of the laste great Terence Mckenna. This year, Mike and   
   myself are going to drive the 1600 clicks to Joburg to copy the 30   
   betacam tapes, which apprently contain more footage of Terence than I   
   can fit in one movie. So far so good.   
      
   We aim to leave Cape Town on tuesday and take a leisurely 2 day drive   
   up. We're using my Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 and shlepping all sorts of   
   equipment, including a new Sony HD movie camera. I'll be taking some   
   pics on the way, so if you're interested in a fear and loathing South   
   African road trip, stay tuned.
