Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend, I know I did. Beer, fishing, debauchery. Everything a good weekend should have.
This week, I find myself heading back to where, as Bad Religion once said, "the palm trees are candles in the murder wind." Tinseltown. The City of Angels. Los Angeles.
To be honest, I'm really looking forward to a week in the 70s, even...

So, the powers that be have decided that I'm going back to the place I lovingly refer to as Canada Jr. That's right, the (nearly) Great White North, the land of Surly, and Wild Viking Twins- Minnesota.
This will be my first (Minnesota) springtime trip- I've been twice in April's, but there was still snow in the ground and even falling from the sky both...

So things around the home have gotten pretty hectic recently moving from a little place midtown to a much bigger (and MUCH better) place a little farther out, so my blogging about travel has been a little... lacking.
But I'm back, and this week I'll he heading back to Sin City. Not sure what my schedule will be like, but I'm sure I'll make time...

Well hell. I thought I was out of the North for a while, only to find that I'm going to be in the MSP area for the next 3 weeks!
At least the snow and frost are going away, and I might actually get a chance to see the area covered in green instead of white!
I think this time around, I'm going to try...

Well, I'm heading back to Chicago this week. Glad the weather is warming back up, and look forward to getting out to see some of the city.
Any particular places that I should absolutely see?
Weekly flying is really a mixed bag, as I get to see some really awesome things, but I'm also not home for much if the year, so I might as...

Well, after my last trip to Minnesota got cancelled by weather, I'm on a plane heading back. Eagan.
I know the standards- Surly, juicy Lucy burgers. I'll be heading to St Paul to get photos of the capitol.
God I'm tired of the snow, though. I'll be happy when I'm done with the cold weather. Spring took a good start at home yesterday, it was...

So this week I'll be checking off two more states from my list of those I haven't been to- I'll be flying in and out of North Carolina, and working in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
I have no idea what there is to do in either, so this week will be a complete blank slate for me.
Any good beers to check out? Places I...

This week, I'm heading off to Canada Jr, aka Eagan Minnesota.
I've been to Chanhassen and Shakopee, but not Eagan, which seems to be about 20 minutes south of St Paul. Of course, that means a trip to the capitol building for more photos.
Short of getting a Juicy Lucy and a Surly, I'm not really sure what else to do while there. It's supposed...

So this week I'll be heading back to Lawrence, Ks. I've been here once before, home if the Jayhawks and all.
But what should I do here? Free State Brewing is a given (their crawfish gumbo is great, and I'll for sure be having it again.) What else is there to do here? What is a can't miss place in Lawrence or nearby?
Any must-see...

This week ended up being pretty good, despite the whole "packing for Texas then being redirected to Chicago" thing.
In Texas, I got to go pay my respects to Dimebag Daryl and Vinnie Paul (and I left a guitar pick on Dime's marker) in Arlington, then I took a trip to lake Texoma on the Texas/Oklahoma border and went fossil hunting/photographing.
In Chicago, I got

So I packed this week to go to Dallas, Texas. Got there, the job went quick. Like, really quick. Less than one day.
So I called my travel coordinator and let them know that I was done, and needed another assignment. She said she was going to find me something so I wouldn't lose hours. Cool.
She found me a job. In Chicago. I packed...
