With the Kickstarter campaign for the next Ikkatsu film set to begin within the next two weeks, there’s actually been quite a spate of media coverage of the last expedition. The timing is a good thing… I did an interview up at KUOW in Seattle last week. You can listen to it here. I’ve said […]

We’ll be heading up to the mountain a little later this week… doing a bit of xc skiing, snowshoeing and playing board games.
