I realised I mentioned America and I ain’t mentioned it before. Okay, really (really) brief summary.
There is a conference in Portland University on 15th/16th April and one of the discussion panels is on Richard Brautigan. I’ve been planning for ages to go to California to see the personal effects and papers on Brautigan in Berkley so it seemed to make sense to combine the two things. Here is my agenda for the 10 days I’m there in the US:
Friday 08/04/2005 FLY: Manchester to Los Angeles
Saturday 09/04/2005 Free Day: Los Angeles
Sunday 10/04/2005 DRIVE: Los Angeles to San Francisco
Monday 11/04/2005 STUDY: Berkley
Tuesday 12/04/2005 STUDY: Berkley
Wednesday 13/04/2005 Free Day: San Francisco
Thursday 14/04/2005 FLY: San Francisco to Portland
Friday 15/04/2005 STUDY: Conference
Saturday 16/04/2005 FLY: Portland to San Francisco
DRIVE: San Francisco to Carmel
Sunday 17/04/2005 DRIVE: Carmel to Big Sur
DRIVE: Big Sur to Los Angeles
Monday 18/04/2005 FLY: Los Angeles to Manchester
Tuesday 19/04/2005 ARRIVE HOME
It took a lot of planning and a lot of internet usage (flights, hotels, car hire etc.) but am now really really looking forward to it. 7 days to go. Whoo-hoo. Whilst in San Francisco I'm gonna do what I always do and go to City Lights. But also am gonna follow this walking tour I have a book on about Beat sites. Am staying around the corner from Brautigan's Geary Street apartment and desperately want to see that...
