left the reno yesterday at 7:30, got to vegas at 2:30, decided i didn't have the strength to make it all the way here to tucson and also didn't want to drive at night, so i went to flagstaff. flag wasn't as fun as the last time i was there, the house i stayed had different people living in it, and i didn't have any luck asking people at the metal show if i could crash at their place, so i ended up sleeping on top of the catholic services building. i was exhausted from driving and from not sleeping enough the night before cause of 4th of july, so i slept like a champ.
this morning i awoke, climbed down from atop the building, and started driving. i was pretty tired, but 4 hours later i arrived in tucson. called up patrick, the guy who said i could stay at his house (friends of friends rule), and got the directions to his house. as i got off the payphone this lady named teardrop asked me for a ride. as we got in the car, she asked my name, then whether i liked to party.
teardrop had no qualms about telling me that she was a "lady of the night," and that she was living in the holiday inn, room number 122 if i ever wanted to stop by.
needless to say, i declined.
got to this house, met all the kids here, still learning their names. they have some cool stuff going on, acivism wise. we watched the animatrix animated shorts, then i took a nap. tonight we're gonna cook some communal dinner, then i'm taking my bike to go find where my class is tomorrow. apparently there is a huge problem with bike theft here, so i'm glad i left my mountain bike at home. didn't have room in the car for it anyways.
excited to start class tomorrow. also glad to be on the road again.
