S2E22, Part 1: John Law on Growing Up, Getting Into Trouble, and Hitchhiking to the Bay Area

John Law hitchhiked his way to San Francisco. His dad was a college professor, and so the family moved around quite a bit in John's youth. He started hanging out with the "fun kids," which meant breaking into houses and stealing cars. He ran away back to one of his previous hometowns, in Michigan, and then set out for the Bay Area with a friend. In this episode, John (who, really, has done far too much to mention here, but, among other things, is one of the co-founders of Burning Man) talks about growing up and developing his sense of adventure. He tells the story of learning about Communiversity, and through it, becoming a member of the now-defunct Suicide Club. Join us Thursday, when John will fast-forward to talk about what he's up to these days. Film photography by Michelle Kilfeather
