Kid Beyond: On the Road
to the American Dream!

In late August, Kid Beyond drove from Burning Man to the Democratic Convention in Denver, then back to Burning Man -- road-tripping with the SF Bay Guardian's Steven T. Jones and Democratic Party bigwig Donnie Fowler.

He blogged about the Convention every day for the Guardian site, and did video interviews dozens of delegates, bigwigs, activists, and celebrities.
