Whether it’s a ghost town in the Sierras or a music studio in Oakland, hold on to those moments in time. Huge thanks to Michael Marsh for creating this video. And special thanks as always to all involved: John Vanderslice, Carly Bond, Robert Shelton, Jason Slota, Jacob Winik, and Henrik Kam.
Thanks to a friendly reader for sending this photo to remind me that Breakfast with the Alien goes well with all your favorite summertime beverages.
