I am a glutton for punishment

So, whatchya doin' for Labor Day weekend? Me? I'm going to Jamestown, North Dakota!.


No, I'm not shitting you.

Yeah, it's to see family. What other reason would there be? I mean, it's not like there's something else to do there. If you take a good look at the calendar on that link, you might notice that they forgot to put 'get a DUI,' or 'get bar sluts pregnant' on there. Those probably aren't things the Chamber of Commerce wants you to know about, but that's all anyone over the age of 11 is doing there. Or maybe they just didn't bother to put it on the calendar because it happens every single day?

Jamestown had about 16,000 people when I graduated from high school. Less than two months later, I got the flying fuck outta there. Now, it was to Wyoming, true, but there, they have things called 'community colleges.' Casper had 50,000 people, so it was a little better. Plus, it ended up being a gateway drug to Colorado for me, so it wasn't all that bad.

It'll be nice to see my brother again though, as it's been a couple of years. Granted, we're going to drink ourselves into comas, but as they say ... 'when in Rome.' Highlights from this trip will be: Beating my brother's cocky little ass at Guitar Hero (even if it only happens once), sharing some kung-fu with my brother (he and his drummer have been practicing Wing Chun for a while now), and perhaps the greatest reason of all...



God DAMN. It's been two years since I've had potato oles. It's motherfucking ON.

I have to say, the calendar looks a hell of a lot more vibrant than any calendar for Torrington, Wyoming. I would post a link to the Torrington Chamber of Commerce's on-line calendar of events, but there isn't one. Which says a lot.

By the way, on Saturday, September 9, there will be "Girl's Swim & Dive BJ Relays." I'd definitely check that out if you're in town. Sounds like a hell of a good time.

But alas, I will no longer be in the fair hamlet of Jamestown by September 9th....

You can go and see SNAKES ON A PLANE (WHICH MIGHT BE THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE, according to this phone call I got from Sam Jackson) at the Bison, which I'm assuming is a movie theater. Have fun.

The Bison Twin! That's where I saw Terminator 2 on opening day, among others.

And yes, 'Twin' means 'two screens.'

I had Taco John's four times. It was all I'd hoped and dreamed it would be.
