I noticed that you are interested in Anthropology. What field are you interested in?
I was taken in by the anthropology pretty early on. I started out with archaeology, and worked about 8 field seasons. But my degree is in cultural anthro . . . . well, I suppose technically my concentration is in Ethnographic journalism, which is just more or less applied ethnography for the purpose of writing articles.
Hello Rich,
Yeah, I was taken in by the anthropology pretty early on. I started out with archaeology, and worked about 8 field seasons. But my degree is in cultural anthro . . . . well, I suppose technically my concentration is in Ethnographic journalism, which is just more or less applied ethnography for the purpose of writing articles.
At some point I hope to work on a full scale and proper ethnographic project . . . perhaps this autumn I will start in El Salvador.
How about you? You are in Oman, correct? How did you end up there? Are you an anthropologist?
Yeah, that guy at the hotel in Eilat was the spitting image of a mafia boss . . . it is interesting that you half way confirmed these suspicions. How were you rifted?
Thanks for writing.
Walk Slow,
Wade

Part 2 of this half-travelogue, half-ethnographic journal is not a post about posters, but it promises one.
In this post, Julia tells us about her first day and night on the road, hitting MJK’s Merkin Osteria en route to the Phoenix show.
Today I am going to tell you a little bit about this project, what exactly this project is, and what these Vagabond write-ups are and are not, so that you can know what to expect. Then, I’ll share just how we got started on it.
Hello Fellow Vagabonds! Are you ready to rock? 🤟 My name is Julia, and I am an insufferable Tool fan. (“Hiii Julia!”). I am an anthropologist ethnographer joining Vagabond Journey while I follow the rock band Tool for a number of shows on their current, quickly selling-out Fear Inoculum tour, doing an ethnographic study of […]
Something’s different here.
Ghost Cities of China is a book which recounts the two and a half years I spent on the ground investigating China’s empty new cities. Pull back the dark veil on the New China and find out what the country is really all about.
