Right now I'm sitting at my dinner table.

Ten days from now I'll be sitting on a plane.

Presuming I do not die while staying at Cupz' place, I will be sitting in a cavern nine days later. With you guys. And bugs. And mixtapes.

One of the hardest things: coming up with something awesome to bring that won't leave the meetup. I'm thinking that'd just make it so much. A close friend of BoC drops by with Hooper Bay or Play by Numbers. We listen to it around the campfire. Then we make sure nobody tried to record it and leave with a real "you had to have been there" moment. That would be ace.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

Think about this from our point of view over here. We have people coming from across the world, something that I personally find insane, fantastic and very humbling. You guys already bring sometimes amazing. You're bringing yourselves.

Safe journey and lets hope the weather is good!!

My house is now clean and ready for Rodheh. I can't wait. And he won't die here unless he's allergic to pot.

Nah, don't worry about it. I ain't allergic to pot, it's the dutch women. I did some follow-up research on that topic when it was brought up lol.

Currently posting at an altitude of 40,000 feet or so, hovering over Texas at the moment. On my way to London Heathrow with one of THE DUMBEST transfers I've ever encountered.

Wish I could fast forward to a campfire (get my head phased).

GET ON SKYPE. It's not going to be a few hours man, it'll be like...16 lol.

Okay, in other news: the British Airways lounge is nice. However, they've placed two TVs in the most comfortable areas of the lounge (translation: the areas with couches).

It's not enough that I hate television, no, they have to be playing CNN.

And seriously, guess what they're talking about just take a fuckin' guess what they're talking about...guess yet? Fucking flags and gun nonsense. The discussion I painfully overheard was like a repeating "uh..uh....uh...yeah well the...uh...the support for your proposed legislature...uh..."

So I moved to a chair until I got too tired there and now some shit came up and there was the headline of "HILARY CLINTON BACKLASH OVER ALL LIVES MATTER HASHTAG REMARK."

God fucking Jesus Mary and Joseph H. .christ I am SO glad I will be in Europe/the UK for the next three weeks. I swear to god, when Americans get around to replacing common core they will teach the pound/numerical sign as the "hashtag sign".

I can't wait to meet you guys :] Overdue.

Btw, I am half new yorker on my mum's side. And boy am I glad that I grew up in the UK. We are not perfect at all, we complain a lot, our government are pricks and I live in one of the loneliest cities alongside Tokyo and NYC, but the US of A is just insane. Holiday? yes. I would love to go to Colorado and other states with natural beauty. Residence? Hell no.

At LHR...zoo...no sleep for hours...one more flight...Cupz at Burger King in AMS....that better be before customs/in the airport you efjrsig.

Note to self: airline food sucks regardless of nationality.

And no, you're not perfect. You're far from it. That's probably what makes the US and the UK the strongest allies politically because they're two countries with a lot of complaining dickheads. :lol:

Don't worry. Heathrow doesn't count as UK. It's a national embarrassment and thankfully not representative of the rest of the country.

We aren't perfect, miles from it. But we're a damn sight better the cesspit that is Heathrow's arrivals facility. ;-)

Thank you. I was beginning to think I had landed elsewhere.

A human being should not be awake for this long.

And you have no idea how fucking long it'll be here. Heh.

Welp, in the Flamingo's nest. Hype meters are on and being monitored.

My stupid insomnia/sleep disorder I have on a normal basis means no jet lag, period. Convenient.
