DON'T
TRY THIS AT HOME;

"Day
2: SF to Eugene"

Well, we
left SF sometime around noon and embarked on our 10 hour drive,
stopping at a couple of crappy places, included the "golden
arches", where Gene and I took advantage of the incredible
deal of BUY 1 BIG MAC, GET THE OTHER FOR 1 CENT. Of course I felt
totally sick afterwards but that didn't stop Gene from going back
in line for a double cheeseburger. See what happens when a new yorker
moves to Sweden for 15 years?
Well there
were some really swell scenery along the way, like Mt. Shasta and
the beautiful california redwood trees in northern cal. We got to
our hotel around 10:30. Arthur got some rest while Gene, the band
and our roadie, Chris went to a bar called JOGGERS, which is a totally
macho sports bar where guys and gals get drunk and snog until they
get to proper "shagging" grounds. Lucky for us, all these
people decided not to come out tonight. So we ordered a couple of
pictures and relaxed on a cool eugene oregon night. Gene called
it a day around midnight but we all kept ordering. Chris ordered
the cheese pizza but it actually looked like an english muffin with
velveeta on top. afterwards, we went back to my hotel room and those
guys bought beer across the street but I'd had enough.
Then Chris
offered to make a taco bell run and we were like, yep, that's a
good idea, Chris. and after that, I was so tired I fell asleep right
where I was sitting, which is exactly the way I woke up the next
morning
