we'll have to compare travel stories when you get back. mine from this past weekend involved drunken midgets, vicodin abuse, buying weed from taco bell, new tattoos, me trying to ride a mechanical bull with a compound fracture, and the actual doomsday clock from the watchmen movie. hopefully your life is less shitty than mine.
