2012-08-04 · Hank, a guest · watch on YouTube · Projects · personal update

Hank's reverse-chronological diary of a very quick tour with Harry and the Potters and Potter Puppet Pals (Missoula, Portland, Olympia, Seattle), closing with his thoughts: get out and live life, happiness has little to do with money, and the awesome per person is high.

What is said

00:00:00 — Reverse-chronological tour diary, Seattle: waking at the Vera Project, the show, crowd surfing, Harry and the Potters, Kimya Dawson's presents, the 'best sandwich ever' argument, coffee, Dick's hamburgers, the E.T. theme
