Coming up on a year
ago, during a time when I was unemployed, I decided I needed to do something I
wouldn't have been able to do under normal circumstances
and hit the road to check out a destination I'd always wanted to see --
Mount
Rushmore.
Sweetening the deal further, I added Reno, NV as my first pit stop because thanks to perfect timing, my
good pal Zaki Hasan was having a
book release party there. At that event I
met people who told me I had to see the monument Crazy Horse in South Dakota, which is on the way
past a personal favorite movie location I never thought I'd see in real
life, Devil's Tower, WY. I would go on to add welcome visits with my good friends The Trendas
and The Thorwalls, who each offered lodging in Colorado and Arizona -- the former being home to the Budweiser brewery, another impromptu stop I added to my travels.
While
driving, I would occasionally pull out my camera and video what I was
passing as a sort of a visual journal of what I saw. Recently, I finally got around to editing the footage into something
coherent, set it to music, peppered it with moments of me talking with my doppelganger, making it into something I now like to call: Brian Hall's Excellent Road Trip

It's
a little lengthy but if you're interested and have the
time, feel free to see what it is I saw on the freeways of the Western half of the United States.
