Who even knew there was a New York in Texas?

My birthday was a few weeks ago, so to celebrate, I went zip-lining in New York, Texas. The sensation of flying is the best feeling in the world. And the views were gorgeous. There was even a coke bottle in the sky that day. Can you see it?

ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Labor Day game day, baby! How did you celebrate your 3 day weekend? I went to Milwaukee to catch a Pirates vs. Brewers game. The Buccos won, 5-2. Miller Park is one of those nutzo stadiums with a retractable roof. (and a giant slide and a rock wall) If you’re going to the Brewer’s stadium, don’t…

If Chicago was the city it is in the summer all year round, this would be the greatest city on earth. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. We all just say the winter makes you really enjoy those summer days. Well, the warm days are almost over, and I’m eating up as much of the fun…

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh

If you’ve ever been to The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, you know they’re photo nazis there. I managed to sneak a few illegal pictures on my phone. (The trick is to pretend that you’re texting.)

Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

I’ve always felt very at home surrounded by stark white walls. Not like an insane asylum but a museum show room. Art museums are like big fancy houses. Beautiful things to look at. Things you’re not allowed to touch. I went to the MCA in Chicago yesterday. Plaid on plaid on black and bows. I…
