A Philadelphia video podcast about Travel, Sailing, and Cocktails!
A tradition in South Philadelphia since 1975, Odunde played out to a sweltering heat wave that hit the east coast. I got the opportunity to chat to Daily News reporter Damon Williams a longtime Philly resident and Odunde attendee and neighbor of the event. Kick back and enjoy the Procession to the water of the Yoruba people, the people of West Africa.

It was a great day to head down to Rock Hall Maryland with Cap’n Tony for some relaxing and to get the sails on my sailboat. I had the pleasure of turning the good Capt’n onto some Hop Wallop a winter seasonal that we found lingering in the fridge of a beer store. This shoot was just a quick one, we did have work to do, but I look forward to joining Tony on his boat in the near future.
This was a real quick play with my brother Andrew as we took a walk to a local pub for some spirits and conversation. I live in the University City section of West Philadelphia which is a melting pot of Ivy League academics, anarchists, hippies and a growing community of Africans (Ghana, Ethiopia, Eritrea and many more). This is a video of my walk to the bar. A bit short but we were just winging it, therefore only a snapshot
of the community.

Many thanks to fellow Philly blogger Jessica’s Journal for bringing me the long awaited news that PBS will be airing the new series Rudy Maxa starting on May 3rd. I first discovered Rudy in 2002 when very little in the way of Hi Definition television content was available. Jay Leno and The Tonight Show was one of the few but PBS was one of the first to get it rolling with Rudy’s Hi Def tour of Europe. He’s back again with new shows from St. Petersburg, Estonia, Turkey, India, Argentina, Japan and Thailand. Looking forward to it. Boat drinks!

Another videobloggingweek2008 has me salvaging some footage I took at the Cannstatter club last September. Alt Weiber Mühle loosely translates to “old women treadmill”. It’s an invention I hope will soon be invented!
