In a strange, yet pleasantly interesting turn of events, I find myself doing a quick drive from New York to Los Angeles in a posh, leather seated, late-90s model conversion van (aka, a shaggin’ wagon). This all came about because of a MySpace bulletin from one of my new favorite bands, pleading for someone to get them out of a tight jam. In three logistical days time, I went from being merely Grizzly Bear’s fan to driving their empty tour van to Los Angeles for them to start their national tour with TV on the Radio.
Right now, I blog from my parked van in front of the Blue Springs Cafe in Highland, Illinois. Unfortunately, I had all these grand plans (I’ve got lots of time to think), to post funny photos from the “fly-over states” — and believe me, I have a bunch already — but I forgot my damn cable to upload photos from my camera to computer. Alas. You’ll have to wait in suspense.
