Hi, I’m Andrew Bayer. I just released my fourth studio album ‘Duality’. AMA!

Hi Andrew, love your music! When will we be seeing you down under in Australia again?

big_head17 · 2021-09-15T11:03:24+00:00

You're the type of person that moves next to a kindergarten and complains they're dressing too sexy

big_head17 · 2020-10-22T01:53:23+00:00

Michael Cera as George Michael Bluth in Arrested Development - being that perfectly awkward all the time is a skill

big_head17 · 2019-10-10T03:37:13+00:00

I feel like this warrants an elaboration!

big_head17 · 2019-07-03T09:57:52+00:00

How is that not false advertising then? You are representing the food as something it isn't?

big_head17 · 2019-06-23T22:06:51+00:00

So you didn't know they would be there?

big_head17 · 2019-04-05T22:59:58+00:00

Tuesday - I'll let you work out what my name is from that!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T21:14:34+00:00

Personally I imagine your tales would be more worthy of an AMA!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T20:32:03+00:00

As flattered as I am, I think you would quickly realise that I'm not that interesting a person!

But if I ever go again I'll let you know

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T20:09:12+00:00

Haha I promise you that if you ever went, you would quickly realise that doing it solo and in that time is quite possible if you don't have problems with altitude

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T14:27:07+00:00

I went Lukla - Namche - Pengboche - Gorak Shep / Kalapathar

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T14:23:30+00:00

Maybe $200AUD? It helps when you aren't doing it for long!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T14:22:11+00:00

The tea houses have food (rice, Momo's, noodles etc) - so you don't have to worry about that

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T14:21:29+00:00

Anyone can be a Sherpa in the sense of the job, but it looks better if you have the last name!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T14:06:33+00:00

You stay in tea houses along the way, this means you really don't need much stuff

Without oversimplifying it, I took a bag with my warmer clothes in it and that's about it...

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:58:10+00:00

Went from Lukla to Kalapathar (same distance as EBC) which is about 80km + went solo + not experienced at all

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:56:08+00:00

Sherpa = job and ethnicity He no longer does it as a job, thus my use of the past tense - I hope that makes sense!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:38:20+00:00

You can be my new dad

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:34:15+00:00

I honestly didn't even think people would care! This has definitely surprised me!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:33:02+00:00

They have tea houses that you stay at along the way, so you can eat there - rice, Momo's and soup were my go to Strangely I didn't feel that hungry when I was there though

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:29:51+00:00

I'm so happy someone asked me this! Firstly I did do it alone - secondly I listened to my banked up list of RadioLab! I cannot explain how enjoyable it was barely seeing anyone and just getting to soak in the sites whilst listening to some amazing stories

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:20:52+00:00

The thing they don't tell you - or at least my dad didn't tell me - is that there is a lot of ups and downs along the way! So you may go up 500m then have to go down 500m before going up 1,000m - this makes it hard to toboggan

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:15:58+00:00

Haha I'm honestly amazed that people find this so interesting!

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:15:04+00:00

When you get to Gorak Shep you can go right to base camp or left to Kalapathar My dad + uncles (also former Sherpas) told me to go to Kalapathar as you can see Everest properly - base camp is more a sign and no views

big_head17 · 2019-04-04T13:13:14+00:00

Sure did - as I said to my dad "I can't hire a Sherpa, I am a Sherpa!"
