PTown bound

·


We are on the way to Provincetown right now. The long drive is so boring. I absolutely hate driving. We split the driving up pretty evenly but it'll be over three hours each so far this weekend. If it were up to me I would close half the 90 and put all the money into a parallel rail line. I wish there was a way to get there by train.

We're driving through these amazing looking hills and forests but you can't really tell since you move so fast and have to pay attention to a strip of asphalt. It's weird that we are completely atomized and anonymized in the car, driving through generic rest stops, ignoring anything that's not on the highway. But @paul is chatting with people on grindr about great places to hike nearby where we're driving through.

Human tested dog treats

·


As seen in a Sodus Bay station. They actually sound good - I wanted to try one of the peanut butter ones but there was no way of telling which was which. I bet @paul would eat the beef ones. Woof.

Chimney Bluffs

·


Yesterday we went down with the Ho's to chimney bluffs. the view was amazing but the water was freezing. Suprisingly @paul and @hodown managed to stay in the water the longest.

Then we came back to the cabin, ate cheesebort, a cookout dinner and pie. We watched the Kardashians for a bit but I had to get away - that show drives me fucking nuts.

Day 1 at the Ho cabin

·


For the first two days of our vacation, we drove up to the Ho's cabin. It was good to see @hodown and @lilho.

Their cabin is on Sodus Bay and really amazing. It has three levels, porches and goes right up to the bay. Dream kitchen included.

@paul is apparently grandpa to the Ho children.

@terry got a little crunk after he hosted his porn radio with Sarah

Temporary recipe

·

The scales at Wegmans pull up a recipie now when you punch in your produce. But there's no QR code or any URL or method for your to keep the recipie. How are you supposed to use it besides taking a photo of the screen?

Dudley beard

·

@paul and I got bored and shaved my beard. it looks like the mix between Dudley from Street Fighter and some 1890's gentleman. I'm not sure I can pull it off but he does. It's definitely gay enough for Provincetown.

Andy C at dniprio

·


Wednesday we went to go see Andy C play at Dnipro.

The sounds quality was pretty bad - so loud, my ears hurt at the end. But the dancing was amazing, probably the best since we saw him and Wilkinson in Toronto. On the way gone we happened to walk through a plague of millipedes.

Lake Erie fish

·


I know that @paul told me you're allowed to eat some fish from the lake, but it still grosses me out. People were pulling their fish from this disgusting raft of foam. It rained the day before and there was a film of sewage. Scrody.

Demolition on Franklin?

·

Are they about to demolish the burned out building on Franklin near Allen? They've started to remove the asbestos. I hope not. The block looks bad enough with all the parking lots and I'm sure this would just become another. Imagine this building gone, and the boarded up yellow one next to Hill Hotel demolished too. The street would be empty.

@paul and I looked at the building and it's really three separate ones - an originial house, an added on storefront and then a cinder block rear building.
