Why This Guide Exists
California is where so much of the 3Dudes1Life universe began. It is where our relationship grew, our creative projects started taking shape, our businesses evolved, and years of stories were built through Hillcrest nights, Pride events, fairs, road trips, friendships, work, reinvention, and everyday life.
This guide will become a place to organize the California memories that connect our podcast, books, blog, photos, Out at the Fair history, and the real-life moments that shaped who we are together.
