    Mini StP Gathering: Mardi Gras?

    I really would like to be there for this. However, I don't think I will be able to. Unless I can find a ride there and back. Or by some work of divine intervention, make it there, party, and be back to LA in under a week. Which never happens when booze is involved.

    What classifies someone as a "slut"?

    If you have at least one penis in every single orifice at once on a regular basis, you might be a slut. Regardless if you are male or female.

    EYEHATEGOD Dec. 6th in DENVER

    Snuck in to the show tonight. Good thing because paying 20 dollars for such a mediocre show would have really upset me. The bands EHG played with were almost as laughable as the people who shelled out the bones to see them.

    DIY for girl parts

    These girls that housed me up in Bloomington swear by the DivaCups. They were going to steal one for me but that never happened. Now that I am settled down for a bit, I might try and look into methods other than chemically doused store bought tampons. I like the idea of DIY tampons, though. So I...

    bikes on shoulder

    hit up: wekeepgoing.com these guys (and a bunch of other buddies of mine) have seen most of this world on their bikes. They started in NYC, biked to LA, and then decided to go to the southern-most tip of South America. The last I checked, they are in Carrizalillo.

    New but not-so-new

    I don't remember. Harvard Square became annoying quickly. The first day we got in, there weren't too many kids in town so we were able to find a place to busk but it was pretty much a traveler or a homebum every twenty feet after that.

    Home-Bum Security.

    Our beloved guard dog let us down in Boston. Tweaker home-bums ended up stealing A LOT of stuff from us while we slept. Mostly sentimental things were lost but they did take two pairs of boots, so two of my buddys walked around Massachussetts barefoot for a bit.

    Have friends who have done it for a bit. Ultimately decided it wasn't worth it. I do think they were carrying around 120 button accordions though.

    I'm 5'1", weigh about a buck, and I look like a thirteen year old. I travel solo all the time and I almost never have problems. I would venture to say it has a lot to do with the way you conduct yourself in front of other people. Figure out what works to your advantage.
