...i been everywhere man... i been everywhere...

  • Feb. 23rd, 2006 at 6:32 AM

Yes, the rumors are true (thanks, Bruce). It is time for another roadtrip.

ROOO-AAADTRIP!!! *yells it*

I have been asked to do some exploring/photographing/contributing for/to the upcoming Weird Arizona book...! Produced by the same masterminds (aka the Marks of Weird US) behind the other Weird books (Weird Texas... *ahem*)... this time Lobo Lobo and I Shady will be blazing a trail across the weird wilds of the Grand Canyon State (poor Misery has to work and cannot go, alas) I can't tell much in the way of details, because that's how these things go. Heh.

But I can tell you that we will be hitting the road for AZ this weekend, and exploring for about 7-8 days. After that we may be taking a personal detour to California... and I'm not sure how long we'll be there...

But rest assured we will be seeking out whatever weird we can find while we are out there. Of course I will share the tales and pics when I get 'home' (and what IS home, anyway.... but that's a whooole other philosophical rant for another time...)...

Thanks to the modern breakthroughs in technology like rentable laptops at Rent Something, Incorporated we will have a mobile computer with us while we are out traipsing the badlands. We are hoping (...fools.... FOOLS...) to be able to get online while out on the road and maybe even- gasp!- post updates!

We'll see how that goes.

If all goes well... mebbe we'll get to do a Thursday night chat from the road, garsh darn. Well, stay tuned here (or on LD, or in the Diner, or on my 360 page... gah!) for updates on our cross-country adventures (I think we're leaving this Saturday)

(oh and don't forget our 'Virtual Bon Voyage Partay' in the Diner chatroom, tonight 8:00 pm CST, see prev post for details)

...and now, a totally random icon:

Ooh looky it's the totally random, ever-changing icon o' fun!!

  • Mood: awake
  • Music:Le Tigre- Let's Run

Disco rollerskating???? That has to be the worst fake-excuse. EVER. LOL!

Ah well... *sigh*... I suppose you'll just have to miss the live webcam tonight (and who knows... there may have been a french maid outfit involved...)

Thanks for the well-wishing! ;)

If it were a fake excuse, I'd totally agree! But it's a real reason!

Tonight is "adult night - 60's 70's 80's" and my friend said last week it was pretty much all disco! It's rollerskating like it was meant to be!


By I will be weeping the whole time due to missing the french maid outfit.

It's strange, but I feel somehow compelled to join a chat. And what's that tingling sensation...

And hopefully you can join us for disco rollerskating eventually - and for some UE... MSP style! *tries to lure you right back*

speaking of the Weird Texas book. I got it a couple weeks ago and was wondering if you have any more pictures of the Witches Castle in the Waco park, looked pretty creepy!

Hmm.. yeah, actually I do... I have a ton of them. Only I'm not sure if I am allowed to post them publicly (since they were basically paid for by the producers of the book)..?

But I will look into that- because it was one of the weirdest/most intriguing places I have explored, and I'd love to share the pics with you guys...

I hope you are enjoying the book! :)

Argh, unfortunately, we're going out tonight, as it is our *last* night in the US for a month :( Poo...poo, poo, poo, poo!!! *huge sigh* I will try to pop in the next time.....I hope ya'll have fun!!!

rentable laptops? cool.

if you really want one, go and ask for one on freecycle. I've seen numerous requests asking for one and always thought "yeah right" but actually there were 2-3 offered in my area recently. I imagine the responses were inumerable.

Yeah, we rented it from one of those generic places where you can rent-to-own furniture and appliances and tvs and all that junk. They even rent out cameras now.

But yeah, I'd much rather OWN one. I'll have to look into freecycle! Thanks!
