Matt Is Doing A U.S. Road Trip And Wants To Meet YOU!

Be aware that direct flights between Albuquerque and Seattle are few and far between. I think Southwest Airlines has a non-stop flight now, but they're the only ones. Otherwise they stick you with a layover in Phoenix or Salt Lake, and it becomes a huge hassle.

That sounds like a lot of fun. When you find out, let me know when you'll be in NM. I live in a studio so my place is pretty small, but I can most likely arrange for you to crash at a friends place (they're all cool). We can hang in Abq or Santa Fe. They're about 45 mins apart. I live in Abq, but I grew up in Santa Fe so I know my way around. If you can, try and make it for a weekend since I work long hours Monday-Friday.

Cool!  I will want to check out Santa Fe and Albuquerque, but am especially interested in the latter.  I'll keep in mind to try and be there for a weekend.

Duuuude.  This is what you call a documentary, especially if you veer off the Xixaxian path and go to all the dives and ratholes you can.

You can possibly come to Charlotte if you want, too.  Big city, lots to see here, I'm sure.  Make it Raleigh -> Charlotte -> Asheville, and it's pretty much the same distance, I think.  Depending on what I'm up to that weekend, a ride MAY be possible (a big ass MAYBE may).  And that would save you a bit of bus fare.

Yeah I'd like to come to Charlotte.  Of course a ride would be amazing (and obviously I'd pay for the gas), but whatever works for you.  I'd just be happy to meet you, and it would be great to be able to stay with either you or someone you know.

I haven't really decided yet on how to document this trip.  I will think more about that.

What a great idea. By the way, enjoy your time in England. That place forever has my heart, it's beyond wonderful.

Since Atlanta's already on your itinerary, we can definitely try and meet up. Don't have a couch to crash on, though.

Yeah I've lived here since September 2008.  It's been a good year, but I feel like things are naturally coming to a close and it will soon be the right time to leave.  I live in Brighton, where have you been here?

I would love to meet up with you.  I can find some other place to stay.

buy travel insurance or have $500 on hand... you might get hurt or something and just want to head straight home.

Yeah I have over $1000 that I'm not planning to spend that's for this purpose.  Thanks, though, as it's an important suggestion.

yes it means st louis, and it's all under control. all systems go.  This definitely has docu written all over it.

Excellent!  Thanks so much.  I look forward to hanging out with you.

don't forget to spend a night in the grand canyon.

I've spent too much time in Arizona as it is.

I've done some research into this, and there seem to be fairly frequent flights for about $150 (which is pretty affordable for me), with a short stop in Salt Lake City, UT.  Something like an hour wait.  That's not too much of a hassle, but thanks for looking out for me.

Thanks everyone!

When have you been in Kalamazoo, Matt?  I lived there for a spell, and grew up most of my life in Battle Creek which is half an hour away.

[matt35mm]

Oh I was just there for a few days about 4 years ago.  Kalamazoo, Three Rivers, and up to Lake Michigan.

I lived in London for six weeks and have only been back once, but it's where I want to end up.

haha, you counted three rivers? what the hell is there that could have caught your attention?  (i lived four miles south of there for a short spell)

I dated a girl from Kalamazoo and went to a wedding last summer in Battle Creek. Apparently Reinhold went to school with the bride.

that means Walrus did, too. who was the bride?

[Gold Trumpet]

Her name before marriage was Allison Sherzer. I was friends with the groom and mainly knew her by association. She didn't like me too much.

ah you're totally not coming here, but i can kind of understand.
hm. i want to do this, too, but i don't think anyone here would want to meet me.
