Natasha is indeedy my sister! Very astute!! I'm gonna be in St Louis in late July, and I loves me some ass-kicking zoos and museums!   Let me know where I should be heading!!  Actually, I'm gonna be stateside for about two months, with most of August in California, so once again, anybodys who's got any travel suggestions, let me know!  

Dooh! I think I'm gonna be in San Francisco or Yosemite by then!  Gah!  Typical, as soon as I'm in the state where an awesome band lives, they have to go and play a gig when I'm out of town! Nooo!

I'm in San Diego at the moment, but then heading to LA in a couple of weeks, but I was contemplating heading up to the LA area for a day-trip kinda thing in the next few days...  Anything going on worth making the trip for?  Or even if you just wanna go grab a cup somewhere?

'Trips been pretty awesome so far!!  I've been to New York, Washington, St Louis (woop woop), Chicago, and now San Diego!  Plus, I had a 4 hour stop over in the Pittsburgh Greyhound station, so I like to think I saw a little part of it...

New York is pretty awesome, for a start!  It's like a crazy concentrated-version of a regular city, and everything is right on top of you, then Brooklyn and places are so laid back and peaceful.  It really is a great city!  Plus I got to meet up with some awesome people (hint hint).

Washington is nice... lots of big statues and big museums... which is fine, I guess, if that's what you're after...

St Louis is awesome, in a kinda weird way... It's like everything is so spread out and low down, that it's a really nice, relaxing place to be.  Plus, it's got some cool cats hanging around the Delmar Loop  .  Chicago I was only in for a day, but it looks nice!  Lots of brick buildings and balconies, which is coooool...  

I flew in to San Diego yesterday, and what I saw between the Airport and the Hostel looks pretty cool!  I've just upload looooads of Flickr-y photos! flickr.com/PLDM

Not to entirely stray from the conversation or anything, but I am currently listening to my favorite radio show (that I'm not on). It's called Crap From The Past, and in my part of the world it's locally played on KFAI public radio. I listen to it on the way home from work on Fridays, and sadly, I only get to listen to the last fifteen minutes or so. Thankfully, the archives are available on-line!

Crap From The Past, by the way, is a radio show comprised of things that charted in the past, but we hear them now and say, "Whuh?" It's also rarities and... I don't know how to classify this stuff. It's so terrible it's great. The host sounds a bit like Emo Phillips and his name is Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber.

Any typos are caused by listening to David Lee Roth singing in Spanish. It's very weird.
