Things I've Learned

Some things I learned throughout the 9+ weeks on the road through the southern and eastern United States with Kristy Kruger and Dylan Sneed:

- Chik-Fil-A and In-N-Out have similar punctuation and similar awesomeness
- Many talented artists/writers/musicians live outside of New York City and LA. The difference is that they can pay their rent
- It is hard to find a person in the South who is not nice, polite, and courteous
- People in the South are proud of where they're from and are happy where they live
- Taking two cars on a tour delays the inevitable band on band physical violence
- William Faulkner and Edgar Allan Poe were not debilitating drunks. Neither of them thought they needed to drink in order to write.
- Dylan is more patient than me
- I smell better than Dylan
- Wynn Walent snores worse than my Dad (never thought possible)
- No one likes Los Angeles. People who live there hate it. People who used to live there hated it. People who have visited it hated it. And people who haven't visited it, don't want to.
- I miss these things from Los Angeles: My friends; the Hollywood Bowl; the Greek Theatre; Dodger Stadium
- Breakfast At Tiffany's rules
- Abraham Lincoln said this: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races ... I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
