Regular Bits

Livin’ now North Vancouver, BC, I am particularly keen on literature, art, hockey, hemp cannabis and traveling out n’ about. I am also interested (and/or inspired by) ships, trains, bikes and worn books in stacks and random paper bits which i collect (tickets, transfers, pamphlets) despite my hunch i shouldn’t.

I often go places and make projects and spread the results to interested people as stories, essays, freeverse poetry and podcasts about counter-culture hi-jinks, spoken word literature, Canucks hockey and Cascadian out n’ about trips, and miscellaneous ephemera.

Published essays and articles in Cannabis Culture, Journal of International Hemp Association, Heads, High Times, Menu and a variety of others. Appeared in mainstream media TV (Guam, Japan), radio (Vancouver, Guam, Utah), newspaper (many) on topics including juggling sticks, drug policy, international ramblin’, epistletory literature, cannabis in Japan, Internet activism, entrepreneurial endeavours, technology punditry, and more. Oh yeah, my creative fiction and poetry pops up from time to time.

“Though his hair is kind of wild these days and a thick beard covers most of his face, you can’t pigeonhole Dave as a hippie. He’s kind of a Renaissance guy who can speak at length on anything from ecology to music to pro hockey.” Chris Simunek,
