III.    Hitchhiking from Miami to Jazz Fest (2002) Phoenix to New Orleans to Miami Arriving back to Phoenix, I discover Dr. Love and his hosts are in conflict.  Dr. Love has not been able to find a trucking job yet either.  He suggests we just pop-smoke and head to Miami.  He still has friendsContinue reading “Phoenix to New Orleans 2002”

Outcome of My First Major Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada My hopes were high enough for myself to hitch hike to Las Vegas for a major tournament, but my grit and fundamentals were not honed.  The trail was long.  The funds were short. The practice time was minimal.  I did not expect to win inContinue reading “Outcome of First Major Foosball Tourney”

Probably the strangest coincidence of this journey is that I some how manage to team up with the stranger that made me aware of the professional foosball tour.   Jim Waterman created the Foosball.com website I found 5-years ago on the internet.  I drew Waterman as a partner in a Draw Your Partner (DYP) foosballContinue reading “Foosball Legend Jim Waterman”

Psychedelic Foosball Project 2002 As the story goes, in 1626 A.D. the indigenous people of New York sold the entire island of Manhattan to the Dutch for $24 worth of beads and “trinkets.”  One can only speculate on what “trinkets” might mean for such important piece of real estate.   Did the Dutch hand over Christ’sContinue reading “Psychedelic Foosballs”

Carma Burfield The first person from Wisconsin that I run into in Las Vegas is Carma Burfield from La Crosse.   “Gypsy, my brother!”  Carma says and gives me a hug.   Carma has given me the knickname, “Gypsy” because of my recent traveling adventures.  We got to know each other through La Crosse foosballContinue reading “Burfield.

*The book writing continues. Here’s anther excerpt of the latest book: March 27, 2002 After our thumbs successfully land us into Las Vegas on Thursday, we head straight to the foosball tournament at the Riviera casino.  Adrian isn’t into foosball, but he does like sports in general.  Adrian is intrigued as much as I amContinue reading “$65G Foosball Hall of Fame Tourney 2002”

Steve-O hosted computer-godfather, Wozniak. I enjoyed Wozniak’s 76-year old ranting about tech. Both are pranksters and top of names of their industries:

B Real YouTube Live on a day of deuces. 2/22/22.

With thumbs out, we walk north out of Kingman, Arizona in the morning.  The sun is your friend in the desert spring, so it’s best to get going early.  It is much harder and colder to hitch at night no matter where you are at.    We have about 100-miles of desert highway to LasContinue reading “Vegas Please (part 6).
