Spotted in the Wild

I'm currently in the Czech Republic, working on JBoss Clustering docs in my hotel room and banging my head to some Czech Krishnacore: Kashmir 9:41.

Meanwhile, back in Australia, David Jorm just sent me the photo above. It's a tour poster for Amala Kirtan's upcoming Australian tour. I should arrive back in AU just in time to hit the road for 10 days of kirtans and concerts. Check out the tour schedule at Kirtan Australia.

So far I've been to the US and Czech republic; tomorrow I fly to Switzerland, and then to the UK, before heading back to Australia.

I'm working on my tour report for my work colleagues at the moment. The trip has been super productive in many ways.

As well, I managed to hit up a few KC things as well. Highlights include:

• 24 hour kirtan in New Vrndavan, where I played bass for Madhava, had Amala Kirtan and Ananta Govinda backing me up, and helped with the sound
• Meeting Madhava Ghosh in person. He took me to his place, but I hadn't slept in 72 hours, so I kept blanking out
• East Hartford Ratha Yatra
• Visiting the Bhakti(pada) Center in New York. Radha Vallabha, one of the residents there, took me on a whirlwind tour of New York's Holy Places
• Visiting Matchless Gifts, Srila Prabhupada's first Hare Krishna center in the West
• Visiting Tompkins Square Park and the tree at Ground Zero of the kirtan movement in the West
• Visiting the Haribol Restaurant in Brno, Czech Republic
• Meeting irl various people who are friends on Facebook

I have a bunch of videos and photos that I will try to get uploaded. I bought a Flip HD video camera from Amazon in the States to record some of my travels and also the Amala Kirtan tour when I get back to Australia. See you there! (Or in Switzerland, or the UK!)
