the buses in detroit end ridiculously early. 9, 10 o'clock. yeah - absurd. i'm still mad that i can't take my bike under the tunnel, but it's been a non-issue so far because everything i've been to has been within walking distance from the tunnel. i was thinking about going to hamtramck tonight but it doesn't seem like i'm going to be able to get home until the morning - even if the show is over before 11:00. the show would have to actually end before 10:00 to catch the bus back...

it's not far, either - it's a twenty minute bus ride. the buses just end at 9 or 10.

i know, it's detroit - everybody has a car. says the 85 year-old. that hasn't been true in decades. it probably has more to do with public safety, but it's hardly safer to walk an hour and a half back to the tunnel.

they're building a light rail up woodward and i think this might help a bit. but i'm very seriously considering getting a bike and just parking it in the parking garage at the border.

there's advertisements all over the buses in ottawa - take the bus if you're out drinking. they even have free bus service on certain days where people are expected to drink a lot.

with a bus schedule that ends that early, i'd expect that detroit would have a pretty high dui rate.

i will probably purposefully strand myself in detroit over night at least once in the upcoming year, but the show tonight isn't worth stranding myself for.

long time? yeah, still waiting...

i very nearly got an "i'm not a trendy asshole" tattoo when i was about 14. glad i didn't...

wish i still had my smash shirt, though. it's not like it would still fit...still wish i still had it though...

i was there. that sway they've got going is real time. the tape's not slowed down...

it's one of the very few times in my life where i felt i was tripping, but was in fact not tripping.

you'll never catch the boris roar on a phone, though. all the youtube videos are like this. your phone is simply too weak for the power that is boris.

forgot to mention that the picture was taken by marc gaertner (i didn't crop it out on purpose.) at the house of targ in ottawa. june 16, 2012.
