I am trying to get to Lollapalooza which might be all the vacation I can afford. But I also have to get to the ocean even for a day so I don't shrivel up and die.

Yeah & it's not helped by a 6 hour stop over in Paris (you can't fly direct to Spain from anywhere in Japan, not even Tokyo)
It's all good once I'm there though  :)

Aren't you supposed to go to Disneyland with the kids?  ;)

I know what you mean. I need to get my fix of the sea every now and then. I was brought up by the sea and I miss it.
In August I'm going to France to see my sister and her family  :D

HA! We've taken them 2 out of the last 3 years. We've yet to really enjoy ourselves there because we are so occupied with making sure kids are having fun and are ok.

I wanted to go to San Fransisco and Napa if that's any consolation...

going to a bachlor/bachlorette party at topsail island, north carolina in july.  we are renting a beach house for a long weekend.  looks like we are going to leave a week early and do some camping in KY and TN.  probably hit up charlotte, NC to visit a friend.   chapel hill for a day. Oh, and of course try to catch a show or two along the way in either Louisville, Nashville,  Chapel Hill, Asheville or something like that.  My husband and I like to travel without a definite plan.  It works really well as long as you plan ahead for the weekends.  last summer we went to bonnaroo and the day it was over we woke up and picked a direction.  we ended up going to Athens for a few days, then Savannah for a few days, then hilton head, then Asheville, then back to WI.  That's pretty much how all of our trips go.  we pick a show and go then veer off course to wherever.  i am so glad he likes to travel like that too.  [smiley=beer.gif]

meh.

i want to go on vacation, but i don't know where to go.

i would like to go on a two week road trip and see all the weird fuck-off tourist traps--like the world's largest plaster or paris crab--but gas is sooo expensive.

any ideas?

Meg, you should "vacation" in Kentucky!  Every weekend there's something going on.  No beach here, but you get the picture.   With gas costing an arm and a leg, you can stay close and still see something new.

booooooom chicka!

i don't have a big holiday planned this year.  i'm hoping to get up to my uncle's cottage (read: mansion, it's ridiculous) for father's day like every year because it's one place that i can ride in a boat.  (and to see my family)  there are a few one or two day out of town dealies, and those are always fun.  i also have very special guestscoming from a foreign country.  i would like to get up to my dad's farm for a bit and hang out with the cows and take the dogs to the pond to watch the dragonflies.  all of my best friends are going to be in the city for at least 5 days all together, so that's RAD!  that's better than any holiday, truly.

this is true. good idea, jc. i have been arranging a lot of ky vacation giveaways for my station these past few weeks. i guess great minds think alike.  :)

i had entertained the thought of going to paducah and touring the dippin dots factory. man, i loves me some dippin dotz! or i could finally see cumberland falls. or i could just sit around my hose all week in my underwear and drink a lot and watch the price is right reruns... whatev.

Long weekend in Norway for midsummer's.  Visiting some friends.  If I know the scandowegians, they'll be gettin' drunk, then gettin' nekkid and then jumpin' in lakes non-stop.

Nothing then until France in September for a couple of weeks.  Which is nice.

Where are you staying in BKK, db?  I love that city...

It's not any better here. It's $7.50 at most Baseball stadiums. $70 will cover a good bottle here too. The sad part is you can buy a 12 pack of Bub for about $7.50 and that same bottle of wine you can buy at retail for about $10.  [smiley=beer.gif]

how did my vacation go?

well... i got pulled over 10 miles into Iowa, my license plate light was out. the dog was sent in, got thrown in jail for 15 hours for $50, had to pay $210 just to get out, $130 to get my car back, and i still have to go to court. facing up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. all that for an 1/8 of weed. THANK YOU IOWA!!! (in Minnesota, it would've been a $150 ticket and sent on our way)  twenty minutes after getting out, i got a speeding ticket $110. THANK YOU IOWA!!!  

got into Denver at 9:00AM. got some smoke by 9:15AM. went to the hotel and slept. got to red rocks, and everything went away. what a beautiful place. WOW! such beauty. tailgated with some cool people. the fat tires tasted better, and the coors light tasted colder. (i did take the picture) When watching the Jacket, all i could do is watch and smile. i wore the hoodie, and numerous people came up to me asking who these guys were and all were amazed. the jacket did it again. what was the worst time, became the best time. what a roller coaster ride.

At this time tomorrow I'll officially be on 'vacation'.  

For those oblivious, or those who ignore my posts regarding The Hold Steady (which there are MANY), I'll be flying to Toronto to spend a few days culminating on Monday where I'll be seeing my favourite 'current band' on Monday night.  Then I'll be stumbling to Montreal the next day for one more show of dignified debauchery.  After a full day in Montreal I'll be flying home only to work two days of next week.  

All in all, much too short of a trip, but it's the first time I've traveled 'alone' before, and I cannot contain my excitement.  Especially for the two HS shows.

QuoteAt this time tomorrow I'll officially be on 'vacation'.  

For those oblivious, or those who ignore my posts regarding The Hold Steady (which there are MANY), I'll be flying to Toronto to spend a few days culminating on Monday where I'll be seeing my favourite 'current band' on Monday night.  Then I'll be stumbling to Montreal the next day for one more show of dignified debauchery.  After a full day in Montreal I'll be flying home only to work two days of next week.  

All in all, much too short of a trip, but it's the first time I've traveled 'alone' before, and I cannot contain my excitement.  Especially for the two HS shows.

:D

Have a great one, K.  And then, the next night, have another great one.  ;D

And remember, in Canada, there's strings attached to every single beaver...

Well after an incredible five days away (I was entertaining the idea of taking another week or two away, but decided against it) I'm back to work with stars still in my eyes.

OK peeps, mixtapes are done & should be in the post this afternoon.
One more day & then I'm off. Think of me as I knock back a couple of beers here @ the rooftop bar of my hotel (the yellow thing at the end):

Five days here: http://www.lebua.com/ in Bangkok before heading off to Hong Kong: http://hongkong.eatonhotels.com/

It's a hard life but I guess someone's got to do it  ;)

Enjoy yr trip DB.

By the way, I've laid down some tracks for your mixtape, it's shaping up to become a soul/countryrock/blues monster hybrid.

And I'm still obsessed by Oh Girl  :-/

Thanks Dark - I promise to come back soon (unless I decide to jack it all in & spend the rest of my life smoking opium in Chang-Mai...these things do happen you know)

Thanks Chills! I shall think of you on the rooftop! (truth is I probably won't be drinking there - it looks f**kin' expensive! Just don't tell anybody else that...)

I shall have to hook you up with some more Chi-Lites for your next mix  :)

Yes, it doesn't look cheap for sure. Just try to smuggle in a beer  :)

It is a fact that I probably need more Chi-Lites in my life. But who doesn't?

Have you seen Boyz N The Hood? That's where I first heard the song. It plays on the radio, Laurence Fishburne tells his son he loves the song & turns it up:

No, haven't seen it. But I just saw Laurence Fishburne in Coppola's Rumble Fish.
He's a cool cat  8-)

Quotehopefully if/when i plead guilty, all i'll get is a fine. hopefully. although, it was in a town of 3,000 people. so they'll probably throw the book at me. as if they didn't already. we were nothing but minnesota nice to them too.

well today is my court date, i don't have to go. (thank God) i talked to the District Attorney of Sibley Iowa. It's going to be over $1,000 fine and a gross misdemeanor. FOR A 1/8 OF WEED. looking back, i know i could have scored a bag in CO, so i should have just taken only a couple of blunts for the road and ate them if i got pulled over. what the fuck was i thinking, didn't think getting pulled over for a license plate light out would end of getting me in that much trouble.

That's an outrage!  We should start a "Pay Tripps Fine Fund" on here.  Honestly, the man's suffering for the Jacket...
