A night at the inn...

So, the nght at Joshua Tree is a memory! At least I have pictures again.

Only two changes since last year..this time it was me and my buddy Ryan (the man who introduced me to Gram Parsons) was along for the ride. It was nice to share the experience with someone who understood the importance of the room. Not saying that dad didn't get it ... but it was just a trip to the park and an old hotel room.

The other difference was Billy! Billy rocks! Sorry to say that we got Billy in trouble with his girlfriend.

We talked Gram, history, music, world events...oh and he got my Monty Python "huge tracts of land" comment.

All in all a great evening...gas scare aside!

The Move is on...

Oklahoma City...Night two on the road.
Now if only I had time, and an excuse, to see the nightlife. Now there would be stories!
But, we are making an effort to visit the Federal Building Bombing Memorial before we leave.
Next stop...Albaquerque, NM. (que the Wierd Al music...or Neil Young..your choice)

D.W.B--part 2

Goodbye Illinois!

Hello Missouri ... Final stop for the day should be Oklahoma City. Really need to find a Best Buy since I just broke my power inverter. Sadly that means I can't listen to the 20,000 songs on my hard drive!

Right now I have a 90's retro weekend show on. Don't know if that is really cool or if it makes me sad that the 90's are considered "retro"!

hello new Salem

We are now in New Salem, illinois...population 12 (and a dog named colin) bonus points if you actually got the Blackadder reference!

Tomorrow it's off to Oklahoma City by way of St. Louis! 13 hours on the road is going to suck my soul!!!

D.W.B

D.W.B-- Diving while bloging

By any standards a dumb thing to do! But, here I am doing it anyway! Never claimed to be bright!

So far the trip had consisted of me listening to the new Watson Twins cd (Fire Songs)...and the new Motley Crue cd (Saints of Los Angeles)!

FYI---the crüe still rock!

Goodbye -- Illinois

As of this hour....I am on the road heading out of Illinios into the sunset (ARIZONA).

I guess there is no turning back now! Well...there is turning back..but why would I want to!?
