STEENDRIVING AMERICA--A Hoos Hits the Road

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

Hey guys.

I'm gonna try to take a bunch of road trips in the next year. This fall I'm driving up to Nebraska, definitely gotta make the time to head out to the Northwest perhaps later this fall. This winter I'm gonna try to make it up to Cleaveland. In the Spring I wanna head to Quebec. I'd love to stop for a beer with any ILXors on the way.

I'm hoping I can use this thread for sightsteening recommendations (this was a typo but I'm keeping it), route/further trip suggestions, FAP planning, photo postings, and the like. So.

First thing on the immediate agenda atm is a trip to Omaha for a Gaslight Anthem show, though if I can convince the boss to grant the time off in August I might roll out to NM first to catch a neon cross purportedly out there somewhere and perhaps catch 1 beer with Abbott iirc

harbl, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:09 (fifteen years ago)

Cause it's Quebec or Cleaveland in the winter and I'm hoping it'll be a lil more tolerable. As to why Cleaveland, I'm reading American Splendor and I thought "hmm this city looks pretty." xp

And jj I've got all kinds of fam up in MN so the odds are in fact quite good tbh!

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:27 (fifteen years ago)

I just figure like--this is the time in my life to do this and why not anyways? Been a road dog since age 4. Might have somebody with me, might not, but I need to see this damn country either way.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:28 (fifteen years ago)

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:32 (fifteen years ago)

I want to do this kind of thing really really bad. I just bought a copy of the new Jane & Michael Stern book and want to eat my way through N. America.

As to why Cleaveland, I'm reading American Splendor and I thought "hmm this city looks pretty."

Hahaha I'm looking out my window and it is not. Well, OK, my yard is, but that's it.

i thought the Cleave love might have been inspired by 30 rock.

boston would be a bit of a detour depending on yr route but with the distance you're already going i felt i should throw down some hospitality.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago)

lol w/e i'm comin anyways

watch your lawn for a few months more and a hoos may appear!!

xxp

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago)

oh this will also be a good thread for road music recommendatiosn

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 18:44 (fifteen years ago)

I think it's safe to say that if a Hoos were to make a pit stop in Chicago on one of these journeys the Chilx crew would be up for hangin'. OMG we could go to Hot Doug's!

Yeah I mean I've gotta drop off a grad school app in Chicago so that's definitely going down

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 19:14 (fifteen years ago)

If you drive through a huge thunderstorm, jump to "Flutter" by Autechre real quick.

This was supposed to go on this thread.

Beanbag the Gardener (WmC), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 19:30 (fifteen years ago)

I'd wondered about that lol

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 19:35 (fifteen years ago)

two months pass...

So a HOOS was supposed to drive to Nebraska this weekend, but a HOOS decided to have a three day weekend in with the girl instead. Trips forthcoming!
