That was pretty hilarious.
You're right. No one appreciates recyclable aluminum cans like Michiganders.
I think when I was living in Minnesota, it was like 2.5 cents a can, but we still brought them in. Then again, it was easier because you could recycle them in grocery stores and whatnot.
I think I would make this a seasonal ritual... collect cans and bottles and recycle them for the cost of a used CD or something, if I'm lucky.

i'm glad you found it funny! it was not funny while it was happening, but in retrospect it was good.
i like the idea of making it a seasonal ritual, although you'd have to drink a LOT to make up the price of a CD. maybe an after-a-big-party ritual? :)

If you want to plan this type of adventure around a visitor, I will totally go with you on the nex trip, that sounds like exactly the type of LA adventure I want to have. Otherwise my suggestion would be something much more banal, like going to Amoeba or getting coffee or Brite Spot.

I suppose it will be another 3.5 months from now, and I'll still be around then...

OMG i cannot believe you are volunteering to go recycling with me. that is so nice, and i'm saving up my bottles and cans for your next visit! and we can go to amoeba afterward. :)
