Enjoyed your entire adventure. Not only because you remind me of my outsider high school friends, or because David Lynch is considered a king in this house of film freaks, but the sheer determination it took.

Always thought NZ was a picture book fantasy place; more respect for it now. Enlightened. And you. Great memories, great telling of them.

Thanks - I'm talking about NZ in the 90s... Its a different beast now. Much more like Canada.

Australia is still a Barbarism though. So thats good.

Good to know - it explains the free spirits that are my cousins there. It was your story that took me further back to teenage years in a country where the kids at my school (some artists like I was) got to live outside the norms, far from parents, where enlightenment gave us all more freedom than we might have otherwise had to experience the world.
