fucking A, this made my life.
in my spare time i am a BADASS.

tell me whatcha think about THAT..YEEEEAH.
sooooo READY to RO(adtrip)LL.

welcoming committee

as i stepped off the airplane (and into the 1970's, i mean, the long beach airport is LOST IN TIME) and felt all CALIFORNIA (looking minnesota?) this is the sight i saw that filled my heart with HAPPY VIBES:



brendan & remy!



WELCOME TO LA.

gonna see the folks i dig

i have been out the nyc for a month and a day...i can't believe it.

i'm not ready to leave portland!

it's fine...i've already decided i'm coming back next month til the fall-ish.

new york in august, who needs it?

led zep / going to california

i will admit though...

my heart is jumping out of my chest with epic excitement at seeing brendan and kat and aviva and aya and jill and taco trucks and beaches and road trip planning...

gonna be the girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair. for a couple days, at least.

HOBO CAMP OH NINE continues apace.

ps. i can't thank jill enough for letting me stay at her place this whole time. and luke & caprice were the best of the best with dinners and bbqs and general fantasticness, and lara & derek & nat couldn't have been better to me in seattle.

love to love you, pacific northwest...be back soon, i promise.

i'm crazy for you, blog

i have missed the hell out of you my darlings and that is truestfax..i hate not blogging on the regs, and i hate that that sentence is really true. (NERD)

check it:
we had a day of free time on saturday!
it was basically devoted to sleeping in and then it took about 400 hours to walk to the tate modern (and about 400 more hours to navigate it. NEGATIVE POINTS FOR FLOW, ENGLISH MUSEUM PLANNER BRAHS.) and it was HUMID and a little bit ICKY but we POWERED THROUGH. all in the name of ART.



there is a ruscha ROOM. dopeness.
the top left is an all time favorite, obvs



the tate is the only museum i have been to that devotes so much space (or any?) to fluxus artwork. as a certified yoko ono lovah/aesthetics nerd, it's pretty exciting.



m/m paris posters..superhuge and pretty fucking cool I R Lz.



there is also a jeff koons room, or did you already know?
it's obscenely reflective, if you were wondering.
see...I STILL EXIST!
i know this blog in the past week has not supported that argument.

things are gonna be back to norms soon enough...
one more day in londontown..and then it's back to bikes and beers and layers in july. (i miss portland!!! i really do...what does that mean?)

i kinda want to live there...

newsflash: I LOVED SEATTLE.


i've closed my eyes and my bank account & gone west

the following is true of my brief but amazing visit to this awesome city:

a boy compared my hairdid to joey ramone. stop laughing! fuck, it's kinda true.
i was less than thrilled; he thought he was so funny that the next day he gave me a ramones box set AND a ramones sticker. slightly charming, fully demented.

they have drive through huts that are JUST FOR COFFEE. caffeine addict dreams realized.

the hideout bar felt like good new york vibes and they have a drink called the andy warhol - you get a cosmo and a polaroid of yourself. cmon; that's sorta best, no?

and how could i FORGET? no onlt did i go to mariners game (i have a lil crush on you & yr socks, #53) but i met the supercute KRISTINA who recognized the white lightningness and bought me a beer. hi kristina!!! thank you!

space needlez

who says i got no culture? went to the seattle art museum yesterday.


that's me in the middle, dark n mysterious. nerd.

their modern & contemporary art was kinda cool, i enjoyed myself.
oh and there are mirrors to take eerie pictures in inside the "old plates room".

in this city of seattle there are very attractive men with tattoos that throw fish around.
i am unclear as to the actual point.

ps:
everything i know about seattle i learned from singles & the real world (irene face slap! anyone?)
off to find a citizen dick tee shirt (which would be the best gift i could give brendan ever, probs)



a compliment for us, is a compliment for you
