Thanks for recommending Up to Speed, Shannon!

"Tour guiding isn't just a job; it's a vocation, a way of looking at the world. It's promoting vacation, paying effervescent homage to the present tense and appreciating the beauty of your surroundings, treating reality as literature and then jumping into the subtext."  -Speed Levitch "Tour Guide Convention"

To give him a compliment, he reminds me of a great urban poet/intellectual of the last century.

Allen Ginsberg (Harry Redl)
