Full Set


   In other news, Epic Roadtrip 2007 has already commenced!! Tarisha & Sherri have already set forth from Davis. They'll presumably cross paths with my parents somewhere in the central valley, as they (my parents) are on their own epic ten day roadtrip to Idaho, where my dad is doing an Ironman Triathalon (typical). I'll join Tarbar and Sherri when they arrive down here this evening. Our most ambitious plans look somethiing like this. They are exceedingly ambitious for the 11 day time frame, however, so they may well change drastically.
   I'm looking forward to rendezvousing with Nicole Farazian, finally visitinig my best friend Aaron Aviv in New Orleans, catching up with pavel_lishin in Atlanta, GA, kelleydoodle in Philadelphia. IF we make it as far as New York, Jenn de la Vega is there, and most of my dad's side of my family is in Rochester NY (I really hope we make it this far).
   If you're reading this and live near the planned route, let me know!


   I think our goal is Twentyninepalms, CA, tonight, Vegas tomorrow. Beyond that I don't know. We're bound to pass through Flagstaff, Az. hereticxxii (Justin Sowers) is from around there, but he's in Europe. )= I've had some good times with the Northern Arizona University crew at MUN conferences but I don't think I know any of them other than Justin well enough to warrant meeting up with.

   But yeah, for our roadtrip we have a $600 grant from PBS subsidiary Roadtrip Nation, because we're rockstars like that.
