    Quit fighting!

    Okay, firstly, well done for noticing I dodged the Carolinas >_> Initially I did do it with that in mind but as a joke, then I came to warm to the idea of seeing the Blue Ridge Mountains, etc, and as I wasn't going to Florida it looked the better route.

    Secondly, N.Orleans:
    This is probably my fault, as I must have misunderstood something. I am definitely going to N.O., and then Baton R. RoadVirus, don't sweat it, I will arrange accommodation for the night of the 26th. I am a-ok with this and you should not feel guilty in the slightest! I will be in NO for the 26th and 27th, and then in BR for the 28th. I don't know if I'll come up the evening of the 27th or the morning of the 28th, but basically, I will definitely take you up for accommodation on the 28th if you're still good for it (with a chance that I'll ask the same for the 27th too).

    Sorry for any confusion caused, I think it probably stems from not knowing which city I was going to go to first. My bad, but don't worry - I'll still see you both!

    Also, my number is now in the OP, and I am about to write my next blog post.

    And to reiterate, please use email instead of PM if possible; I've put my email address in the OP now. It makes things a lot easier to track.

    In Austin, it's a pretty decent political mix. Odds are, the car that won't let me change lanes has an equal chance of having an Obama or George W. Bush sticker on the back. Not too many McCains though.

    Anyways.

    he's getting here the day after we get back from an 11 day cruise in alaska. if you want to entertain him for a while one evening he can spend the night at my place and ill show him around the next day. its up to him i suppose, but that'd help me and the fiancee to get our shit together beforehand

    Flippy, when you get to Fort Worth, I am going to do my damnedest to venture out of Dallas into the trailer park wilderness of Tarrant County and find you.

    And when I do, I will humiliate you with the largest cowboy hat I can get my hands on. It will be big, and it will have cowprints on it.

    Quit your bitching. At least you don't live in New Jersey, we get nothing but shit. I mean the state isn't great, but its not the huge shit hole everyone makes it out to be. (only some parts are... Camden/Elizabeth I'm looking at you.)

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    I have to say your blog is very entertaining and well-made.

    And even though we've never really talked, and very rarely even gamed on the same server, I hope you have fun and stay safe. Don't drink the water! (Joke)

    Here's to that.

    Flippy, you need to have such insane adventures that you end up writing a memoir about self-discovery. A la Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

    I am going to pick up a portable HDD for Flippy to carry along on his travels. It will be loaded with both of our music collections. Any future hosts are expected to do the same, and then Flippy will mail the HDD back to me after he gets home and sorts through it.

    Sound like a plan?

    Now that the American History Museum is open again, it would be a great choice. Unfortunately I can't get off work or I'd totally be up for traipsing around DC with you and Flippy.

    I'm so excited about the New Orleans trip simply because even though I live 30 miles away from it I extremely rarely walk around the French Quarter myself.

    Oh, two more thinks I thought of. We need to ride the street car, and I'm gonna take you on a quick driving tour of Lakeview, which was one of the hardest hit areas in Katrina. It's been almost four years and it looks much better than it did, but it'll still give you a decent idea of how bad it was down there. (Waterlines still on some houses and whatnot)

    Edit: And of course Beignets at Cafe Du Monde
