Joshua Ploeg is a touring post-punk vegan chef and these are his harried tales of traveling the Greyhound with sex-crazed teenagers, shaving cactus with dull knives, being drugged by his hosts, eating at shitty restaurants, cooking for "artists," bad sexual experiences, a fellow bus passenger that stole a Gatorade and delayed the whole bus, and much more. Joshua deals with the most unpredictable of circumstances in his touring--navigating new towns, acquiring groceries, unknown kitchen appliances and utensils, and unpromoted shows.
