Photo fun begins in Philidelphia. I needed a wee badly. Kim and I ran into a hospital, past security and took a piss together.
We CDTL'ed the Relapse Record Store. It really wasn't worth the effort.
I was chuffed we found a Maoz Falafal Bar in Philly. Hell yes! I look like a mong.
I was so chuffed, that i had two photos taken outside it. Weirdo.
We ate vegan pizza and cheese fries whilst sweating to death in a non air conditioned food place.
The girls. Walking down the street with my vegan mac...Street Fight. I was taking the photo.
Philly has pretty awesome car parks.
Moving onto NYC now. Standing outside CBGB's after the Killing Time, Underdog show. I was a wreck. I smelt bad. I was sweating but it was the best show i had been too!
Kim enjoyed the show for other reasons ha
It felt like home for a brief few minutes.
So, we hid inside an apartment doorway.
Pretty.
Times Square is like hell on earth for me. But it looks pretty impressive at night time.
You want me? Arh, i didn't think so :(
The NYPD had some good CDTL's.
There was a friggin family of Racoons living outside our kitchen window.
They had Rabies.
Times Square another night with Kim and Melissa. It was still hell. But awesome times with friends make up for the surroundings.
The Vegan Jihad are in Toys R Us.
On the way down to North Carolina, we stopped by to say hello to the Nations Capitol.
We bumped into this guy.
Melissa and I were going to be patriotic and sing our National Anthems to draw in a crowd. Melissa got a hand clap. I didn't want to sing my shit Queens Anthem.
Kim was bored.
The WWII memorial was impressive (that's probably the wrong word i know).


Panels like this depicted and illustrated Americas involvement during WWII.
The fountain in the middle of the memorial.
The Atlantic.
I can't remember what state this guy was from. But i found it moving.
American Eagles under the Atlantic.
Forest Gump was here and so was i.
Lincoln Memorial...you walk up the steps and inside you meet the main man...
Hey Abe!
I found the ceiling interesting. Outside i wanted to buy a pin saying 'I love my Airman'. But i resisted. I also visited the Vietnam Memorial, but for some reason, i found it intrusive to be taking photographs of the lists and lists of thousands of people who lost their lives in the most pointless war to date.
Somewhere between DC and NC. Probably Maryland.
Completly lost in thought.
I didn't take any beach photos in NC or 4th July lake photos from Pennsylvania. DOH!
We went to the Pocahontas State Park, 10 miles ourside Richmong, Virginia. We got free entrance and a recuced boat fee for telling the workers that we were relations to Captain John Smith. They beleived us. Just another stupid American.
Another for fun!


I was the rowing pro of the day. I don't know what Kim is doing back there!

Just coming out of the Holland Tunnel, near Tribeca and on our way to Food Swings.

I liked the contrast.
A pathetic attempt at capturing the Statue of Liberty.
On the Staten Island Ferry.
My sunglasses had broken at this point. I had also given them to Josh. I was squinting.

I had been in Seven States and about a million taco bells and vegan food joints. I miss the beach, Kool aid and everyone i met :(

PS - My coding sucks i know!
