coming to terms with what we've become.

It happens when you're not looking.  One day you're touring the country in a van in indie rock obscurity, or you're hustling as a PA in a 3rd tier market managing sewage clean-up for a reality TV show.  Before you know it you've forged a career, moved across the country and discovered a paradise of creativity, fine cuisine and some epic cycling.  

The Bouge Cruise documents the things we find on our journey together.  We're just two east coast ex-pats exploring southern California and beyond.  We're Addie and Andy and we'll keep you posted as we find our way.
