This is the story of three film-makers who go out in search of the Bigfoot due to a recent alleged sighting. This is meant to take place in Siskiyou County, California. These three young individuals are similar to those characters in the Blair Witch Project (BWP) in that they are of low intelligence and act irrationally - perhaps I think this because I'm British.

Lead by a parade of commanding smoky mountains, enduring date palms and proudly powering wind farms on a seemingly infinite carpet of brick red desert sand, we traverse upon the lusciously green Indio Polo Club, official venue for the Coachella Festival.

While perusing the website of The Atlantic (to which I subscribe) I noticed that one of the top ten posts was on potential government regulation...not of firearms, which is the most contentious topic in American politics, but of caffeine.

Given we are in an age where traditional media, entertainment and communications are all being bulldozed by a digital, non-location specific cloud approach, standing there with arms crossed refusing to let this international celebration of film spread its glory globally, looking much like an incorrigibly stubborn little Oscars statue, is surely quite backwards.

There are all kinds of hotels in Mendocino, one of the most beautiful towns on the California coast, but there is no hotel like the Stanford Inn by the Sea. This laid-back, boutique eco-resort shows that being green and worthy doesn't preclude being fun and indulgent, too.

Hundreds of people shout mercilessly at a single outcast person until they have removed that particular item of clothing. It's almost as if the American student population aren't aware that people's choice of clothes do not necessarily match, through the random and arbitrary association of color, their actual views, opinions and sporting inclinations.

Nestled in the Mojave Desert and only two hours outside Los Angeles, Palm Springs has become known as California's playground. Endless pool parties and jeep driving around the town and surrounding mountain ranges is a standard way of living.

The Reality of Having a British Accent in California

Daniel M. Cooke

It has come to the point where I find myself yearning for conversation that doesn't begin with the phrase "Oh my god, do you have an accent?" or any of its equally obnoxious and evil counterparts. In the beginning, I admit, it was rather fun and for a while I even played up to it.

When I was in California in July, my sister showed me her gun. She lives in a wealthy, predominately white suburb, and she keeps the gun polished and loaded to defend herself and her family against lunatics who also have guns.

This is the house that Heidi built. We're sitting in Lavender House on Gayton Road, Heidi Locher's London home, set far back from the road behind a high gate, a temple to Modernism hidden between the Victorian walls of her Hampstead neighbours.

Steve raises his voice, a bit of the old punk rage perhaps asserting itself again after all these years. "You had to work to go and see a band back in '77, had to get off your arse and go to a gig, and then go to a record store to purchase the product. There was a lot more work involved. Now it's just mindless consumption."

There's something really special about going on a road trip, isn't there?It screams adventure, camaraderie, great tunes, cosiness and freedom - and if you're doing it abroad; then probably sunshine, having the windows down and the open road in front of you... some would say, it makes the best kind of holiday.
