pineapple express
chill, 420 food truck daze
try the falafel!
***
Today I spent time with my good friend Mike at the GringoDilla’s food truck. We were parked outside the front door at High Mountain Health medical dispensary, serving Flagstaff Famous food to the crowd of people who were waiting to purchase their medicine (and possibly suffering from acute cases of the munchies!). Falafel was the most popular order, and let me tell you, the guys at GringoDilla’s make the best falafel you’ll ever taste – courtesy of Eldan’s personal twist on a family recipe that originated in Israel. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out – big time!
I set up my book in the front window where we took orders, and as people waited they thumbed through the HighKu’s. Unfortunately I didn’t make any book sales, but I saw many delighted faces as folks came across some of the funny and trippy poems in the book, and I heard a few “ooh’s” and “aah’s” over the brilliant illustrations. I’ll take it! It’s all about spreading that joy, people! I did a little of that joy-spreading for myself, in honor or the holiday, and indulged in a locally-grown strain of Pineapple Express… It’s a wonder I could even talk, cuz that shit rocked my world!
You can pick up your copy of Hooray! HighKu! On Amazon.comÂ
Happy 420!
