Wippity Wipes
So, we had a blast last night. After seeing some more of the city via Dan, we hung out with some of Laurel's friends on "The Stoop." Most of them seemed nice and were willing to sign our release forms. Of course there was the one a**-hat who thought he'd be a douche and not sign. I knew it was bound to happen. Sometimes 2-Kool-4-Skool-Fata**es don't like to let people have fun when they have the chance to prevent it. Blah blah blah. His loss. I just shot around him. We went to some bar called, [ENTER TRENDY BAR NAME HERE]. Sure there were plenty of hipsters, but that’s nothing new considering the bars we go to in Cinci. Pretty much got wasted on some locally brewed beer called Yazoo. Not bad, tasted like Blue Moon. It was draft only so I had to move to Hienichalkaksalkjan. Tasted like skunk, but got the job done. We (Jaz, Melis, Laurel, Matt[Laurel's boyfriend, who by the way was really cool and I could tell that we would get along great and we had the same laptop], etc.) danced like we were a bunch of drugged-out ravers. It's nice dancing around people you will never see again. Makes you a little more daring in your moves. Got a ride home with some guy(Blake?) that used the word "thoroughfare" and had a convertable, Kudos. For our first stay I really hope that it just goes up from here. It will be pretty hard because Laurel was super cool and the other hosts have some big shoes to fill. If you're reading this Laurel and party, thanks a lot and we hope to see you again.
Got to Graceland and well it's pretty much what you would expect. A huge tourist trap that tries to get squeeze every penny out of you. $22.00 for a ticket to the basic tour. Saw all kinds of really awesome furniture and clothes. I never really felt one way or the other about Elvis, but I'm pretty sure I don't like him. Most of his music was really terrible. I do like his really early stuff. The Graceland Crew took our picture in front of some lame Graceland mural and tried to make us pay $20 to buy it. We grabbed the photo and tried to take a picture with our digital camera, both pics came out fuzzy. They didn't like our tactic. OH YEAH! I TOOK A HUGE CRAP AT GRACELAND! I could have done it in Nashville, but I knew this was just asking to be dropped off somewhere really special. That was worth the $22 alone. Something to tell the grandchildren. I also ordered the famous peanut-butter and banana sandwich. I think our pictures of the event will express our opinions of the taste. Stopped in downtown Memphis. Nice enough. Passed the Memphis Pyramid. What the hell is with Tennessee having these ancient marvel knockoffs? Currently heading to Little Rock to meet Mandy, who is our first official person from the internet. Today is mine and Jasmine's 6 month anniversary. I couldn't have had a better day with her.
Shoo.
