This is my favorite pic of Elvis. Partially cuz he looks cool. Mostly because my grandma took it. September of 1957. He stopped for breakfast in Cleveland, TX after a show in Houston. Props to my mom @Beckyha72662639 for preserving it. #Elvis45

Indian jam band was lit. If you listen closely you can hear the influence behind John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance (or when I was in high school - Give Chance a Peace.) There was dancing. Sand art. Revelry. Up at 4am and got a 10s exposure pre-sunrise to die for!

Our last day in the boonies for now. Off to Bangalore tomorrow. Bengaluru. I’m still confused by the names. Awesome day of production. That pic of Gunne behind camera was an hour interview and only after did we see THE MURDER HORNET NEST! But the hornets were kind.

Update #7 Sidequest A
Narrowcasting to my fellow word nerds and language honks. Yesterday a man here in India told me with straight up pride, Sanskrit is the root of all languages. Greek. Latin. Even my beloved English. Hindi. All of em. My @englishhistpod brain lit tf up. Becuzza that pod, I know Sanskrit is more like an older cousin than a parent of English (and the others). The common grandparent is Proto-Indo-European.
Rather than dunk on him I kept it to myself and told him how impressed I was by the pride he has in his culture.

I can’t share most of the pics from last night cuzza nda stuff. Suffice it to say, Diwali in a small village was a once in a lifetime experience & then Filming an intimate ritual in a temple as foreigners was a rare privilege.
And Gunne is a card. Love her so much!

Wow. Spent the day with impoverished people in a village.
Wow.
We need a word for heartbreaking and heartwarming. Like one word for both emotions. Once we mint that word, that’s the one for this morning.

India trip update #3.
Landed in Udaipur. Met our driver. He drove like speed racer on meth to Kalandri. We saw camels and monkeys. Greeted by our subject with traditional ceremony with cool hats and interesting food. Finally settled, we got to work!

Zero regrets. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. There is no second place. Congrats to the people who politicized the vehicle and made it the totem for you to direct your ire. You got a scalp.
Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production

Aloha, Doha!
Gunne repping Hadestown. Dad sporting @FoundersPodcast lid.
1 flight down, 2 to go!
As Stan Lee would say…Excelsior!

Project Hail Mary will forever be associated with this voyage to India. With the precision of a German engineer, Gunne and I synced pushing play and are watching it in unison. We’ve both seen it But it seemed like a good film for a 15-hour flight!

This is a first. My daughter and I are neighbors.
Off to Doha. Then Bangalore. Then Udaipur. Then the boonies.
As far as I know this is the only flight we will be going backwards. I gotta think takeoff is gonna be sweet!

Every great expedition starts with a great meal. I went with a ribeye, partly because I'm an American and partly because we're gonna miss steak where we're headed. Mmm. Vegetables. And being Americans, we did the most American thing possible. We went to Outback Steakhouse. A Australian. Just like Lewis & Clark did.
Tomorrow my daughter Gunne, Richard and I are off to India to film. Gunne is a lil nervous about the cuisine and the culture shock but fired up about everything else. That describes all of us, really. Mostly I'm beside myself that I get to take my kid along on this insane adventure.
The steak was bomb, by the way. G'day, mate. Namaste?
