A full blown No Agenda meetup in Chicago on a Saturday. Producers fly and drive in from across the country. We gather, we meet, we celebrate before the adventure even begins. Venue and date TBA.
We board and head west. Everyone is responsible for booking their own ticket. The trip will likely take about a week with overnight stops along the way. Sleeping car accommodations are available and recommended.
Denver? Salt Lake City? Reno? This is where you come in. If there are enough producers in a city and enough interest in a stop, we'll make it happen. Tell us where you are.
An even bigger meetup on the other end on a Saturday. The Bay Area producer community receives the traveling circus. We might even get John out of the house. Details TBA.
The California Zephyr runs from Chicago to San Francisco and takes roughly 51 hours. It is one of the most celebrated train routes in the world, and for good reason.
The train has a lounge and observation car with panoramic windows, a full dining car, sleeping accommodations, and showers on board. This isn't roughing it.
The route passes through some of the most dramatic landscape in North America. The Colorado Rockies, Glenwood Canyon, the Utah desert, and the Sierra Nevada before the final descent into the Bay Area.
Before you commit, do your homework. This video covers everything: the full route, sleeping cars, dining, showers, and what life on the Zephyr actually looks like.
