In March-April 2010 - for three weeks - Jess Morgan (http://www.myspace.com/jessmorganacoustic) and I went around the North-Eastern USA by Greyhound (and other such coach type things). We went to open mic nights, Jess played her music and I read out short stories.
If you look at 'Any Thoughts,' that's a blog that I started while out there. In fact that's pretty much all it's about. Amazing times.
