So I don’t mean to get all hocus pocus on your ass, but bad things happen when you travel during Mercury retrograde. Life just goes awry. In a big way. From misscommunications to missed flights, it is a time when ideally you should lay low, revise or edit old projects, & generally not be too ambitious. But hey! We’re brave! We care not for astrology! WE ARE CHINASHOP! We’ll give anything a try! & so, on Saturday morning, Barbie (our editor & multi-tasking prodigy), Seth (taciturn & phenomenally gifted videographer & photographer) & I (insert your own adjectives & nouns here) set off towards the desert in a blue Nissan Altima hybrid.
