I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...
ummm.
so okay! i am doing my usual spring 'jump on a bus and go places' thing and this year i am going off to los angeles, then san francisco, then phoenix, then houston, and then new orleans and then back to boulder. soooo ... if anybody knows of anything neat to do or any fun places to check out in any of those cities then let me know!
;D
well, i guess i am a los angeles native originally but there is still a lot there that i never really got around to doing. so far all i know is that i am hitting up venice beach a few times and visiting my favorite little lesbian bar in burbank cause that is usually where i find my free housing. it is good to have friends who still go to the same bar on the same night every week for the last who-knows-how-many years.
san francisco... uh... dont really know much. was thinking of maybe visiting some of the clubs around there and getting a good idea for them, since eventually my seminary training will require that i move there for further education and it would be nice to understand the clubs a bit better. ummm.
as for the others... i got no idea. they are blanks to me. stuff in houston that is 18+ would be good though, since i am going there to hang out with my 'little sis' (not really related but we may as well be) who is a go-go dancer or something now and will be turning nineteen on the eleventh, and we both like to have super fun. though i wont be doing much in new orleans since i am going there to help care for a friend who was assaulted and has been in the hospital for quite awhile now. so not much time for fun, just time to take care of one of the most awesome people i have ever known.
and if anybody randomly wants to hang out i am probably good for that too. i might even eat glass for you? :)

Most importantly, be as safe as you can. That can be hard, going to new places, bar hopping and not knowing everybody. Try to plan where you will stay, how to get around and stuff. It's better to be prepared and be aware of any dangers in the area.

you should go to portland too. it's finally warm here and realllly kind to traveling people.
Re: I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...
portland is definitely on my list of cities to visit. just not sure if i will be able to afford this time around. if i end up making money while i am on the road then i just might be able to. i have quite a few crash space offers up there after all, from various traveller friends who have co-ops and communes and things.

How long are you going for? I'm doing somethign similar in July and would love to meet up with an adventure partner for a city or two.
Re: I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...
You didn't eat glass for me. *pout*
Be careful in Pheonix. Strange strange things happen there. I think the earth's magnetism is inverted or something. I just drive around it anymore.
In LA, well, I think everyone should work in a creepy hostess club in COI at least once in their life.
Re: I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...
Have fun! I am planning a simular trip sometime, I wish it was now so I could meet you and see you eat glass!
Re: I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...
Enjoy but be careful. Ive heard Greyhounds have a lot of weirdos.
Re: I'm leavin on a Greyhound, dont know wherever I'll be found...

You never asked.......?

Next time I see you I will eat a fancy wine glass for you, after drinking windex from it. How is that?
;D
And the weather in Los Angeles is amazing right now. Amazing. Somehow only my left forearm got sunburned while hanging out at the Venice Beach Freakshow which is ... kinda freakie since there was a lot more of exposed and it is not like I had sunscreen on or anything.
BweeeooooOOOooo....

Yes, yes they do, and for some reason it seems that I am ALWAYS sitting next to Commander McGropesinsleep... Really annoying, but it was one of the cheapest ways to travel.
And thank you krchab :)

I wish I had advice on LA but haven't been there enough times to really say what stuff to see or cool places to go. I always love west hollywood though. Stay safe!

while you're in LA, go to the museum of jurassic technology on venice blvd by watseka ave. and the hare krishna temple is really beautiful and there's free dinner sunday night at 6-7ish if you're into that sorta thing
