    new head looking for the group connection
    Hey people hows life going? My names Willy Pete and I'm a pretty young dude (think 18) whose parents might be letting me loose for the first time to drive a few states over to hang out on the "scene". I don't really have buckets of money so buying a legit ticket is out of the question, but I definitely have enough for gas, food, maybe a cheap hotel to shower up or whatever. Anyone have word on where someone could get a shower? Is sleeping in a car safe/dangerous? Where the cheapest hotel might be (willing to drive out of town for this)? How not to get murdered or robbed?I don't really have a clue whats going to happen but I imagine it would involve hanging out, being a parking lot rat outside the show and later/before, at certain meet up spots. A big request my parents made is that I find people and/or events beforehand to meet up with online so i'm not showing up clueless and alone. So yeah, whats the word on how this is going down? I'd love to get to know some real down to earth people and have a good time. I've only spent time in small time local scenes, so this is a HUGE deal for me. Bring me to the circle of life! Love -

Hey, buddy, since I haven't seen you in a while just wanted to let you know that I saw the Rox-Giants game on Friday at Coors Field. I love watching those two teams play! And now I find out that the Rox will be in SF for the SC shows. Bliss! Maybe we can put together a SD outing at AT&T.

Not sure if this has been covered before in this thread, but there is a bike share in Chicago called Divvy. It looks like it is a good form of cheap, healthy transport if you are in the downtown area. $7 for a 24-hour pass (unlimited 30 minute rides) with a ton of stations. http://www.divvybikes.com/

MYTH: For those who may not know, The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox announced yesterday they will be playing an afternoon game at Camden Yards that is closed to the public due to civil unrest. FACT: What has not been reported is the Orioles announced Phish would be performing at the game and everyone just turned their tickets back in. now you know, my foil hat friends. Happy Wednesday

60 Days to Santa Clara66 Days to Chicago Rounding the 2 month mark! Seems like a long, long time. Waiting. BUZZ is stirring in the hive. Doing that crazy little bee dance. This is a no humping zone. FLYING ONLY! P.S. Humping pants are allowed in the flying zone. Just no humping and flying. DAHF (Dreamers Against Humping and Flying)

My boy - word is ALL OVER your Brownies offering two #1's to Tenn !!! YOU WANT MARCUS !!! Problem might be those even lower J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets who sit at #6 and could trump you guys. Dude, we were there a couple of years ago when your Browns opened the season against my Eagles. Spent nearly the entire Saturday before at the R&R HOF and the Dead special, entire top floor exhibit there - OMG !!! Anyways, we hung out at lake Erie, saw the dead rats floating in the river as we tailgated, kicked ass in corn hole and flip-cup in the parking lot, and loved your town's game-day experience - TOUCHÉ !!! BTW, Birds kicked ass :-) FLY EAGLES FLY !!

We havn't sunken into the ocean yet... I'm a tri-coastal gal, having grown up in Hawaii and Boston - back and forth all of the years until I planted my flag in California and British Columbia, depending on the time... It's a beautiful day today, and we are here, organizing a screening to raise money for the Nepal Earthquake-affected. My cousin and baby cousin survived it, near the epicenter. They are coming home to NoCal for a little respite before deciding on next move. I am some yarn in that net. Headache has gone so now to prepare for my daily trip to the mines. Also I got my t-shirt(s). 443!! Maybe I WILL have a spot more of joe before I go...

Speaking of stealies, I saw a new SYF sticker today with a picture of Lake Tahoe. Either that or it was a brain that melted into a blue puddle. Either way, as they say here in the Reno/Tahoe area, Keep Tobias Blue.

Browns .... NO TRADE. Too many other needs to mortgage the future on mariota. He will be a very good QB I'm sure but he can't play D nor catch the ball. RnR HOF is very cool. I have not been there in a few years...long drive from Texas. Browns game day experience IS a blast. Imagine how cool it will be when they start winning (Insert joke about hell freezing over). I remember that game. Watched it a sports bar here in DFW. P***ed me off when Bs dropped INT in late Q4 then Eagles scored. Another example of the Browns almost always almost win.

Having grown up in NYC and watching the Jets, then living in Buffalo for 36 years and bleeding red white and blue....I have hated many teams, none as much as the Pats..with that said....I wish The hoodie was our coach and Brady our QB....Road king you have one hell of a franchise up there and while watching the Super bowl in Maui with Seahawk fans I was in awe of your teams victory....

I recall, many moons ago, the Boston Patriots, and man did they suck!!! Growing up in Buffalo with a father that hailed from Boston we would go to the home games, and for the longest time the patsies were woeful. Their time will come. Go Bills.
