1. Lisa and I have scrapped our ambitions Pacific NW trip due to insufficient funds and have instead plotteed a road trip up the world famous "emo corridor" (I-35) to the cities of Kansas City, Des Moines, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. I like that A) we're going places neither of us have been before-(I've been to KC, but I was only there for 2 days a

very cool! i can't decide if i like algeria or the french alps better haha.

man, they're both great. I love old travel posters. I bought another one today-(because having 5 provide a better visual balance than having 4. Also I thought it was cool.)

Definitely the Alps. You should drive two hours east from Des Moines and visit Moline, IL, the birthplace of Randall Charles Heyer. It's a treat (about as cool as Des Moines, which is to say, not at all).

they're sort of pretty, poppy proto indie rock.

When? Would y'all like to come over and sit in my backyard while you're in Minneapolis? There will be cocktails, and I'll make delicious food?

[tosei]

I think we'll be there june 17-19, and yes cocktails and delicious food sounds right nice! When it get's closer to when we're going, I'll give you more details about where we'll be staying etc.

Excellent! I work on Friday nights, but shoot me an e-mail when you've hashed out the rest of your plans. Annablume at gmail dot com.

Sadness that you're not visiting the pnw home of people who wear socks with sandals. It is rather gorgeous here and you don't even have to do anything touristy either.

We'll still make it out there one of these days; her brother lives in portland, so we have sort of an open invitation. I just want to do it when we have the money to do it right.
