Fun with props at a warehouse in San Francisco.

I've been sitting in this coffee shop called Rachael's Cafe in Bloomington, Indiana for over 6 hours. "SIX HOURS!!!?" you say? Yep. Other than the obvious link-hopping that occurs when a twenty-something like me has been internet-starved for a few weeks, I also managed to set up a Fashion Show here in Bloomington, talk to Bad Evan for at least an hour about politics, religion, marketing and what it's like to grow up Irish Catholic, join in on a jam session with Travis, Whitney, Nathaniel and Andy, and finally make an addition to the yelp.com realm of rating favorite places in the towns I've visited.

Six hours and I can't get myself out of this place. Six hours and my blog hasn't yet been updated with photographs and tales of my travels in the past few weeks, months, year.

Andy made a joke that he hasn't blogged and won't blog on this trip because I am the only one who reads it anyway. I thought he was probably pretty accurate about my own position for tale-telling and photograph sharing. But my father wrote me an email today about a blog post that I put up a few weeks ago and I was reaffirmed that the people I love are still actually paying attention, even if only in intervals.

The next few posts are dedicated to the last trip I took to San Francisco with Brian and this current road trip I am on with Andy to Houston, Arkansas, St Louis, Bloomington, Indiana and on . . .

Miss you all!!!
