Dallas To LA in Just about a Day

The other day I flew to dallas, got into a van and drove to LA, It took about 30 hours with a bunch of Random stops at those truck plazas where you can buy clay statues of Black Labs, and Knifes, and boots, and you can watch nascar on a big screen with other truckers while they smoke cigarettes and wait for their number to be called to take a shower. I would spend my spare change in the arcades playing the pov shooting games at all hours of the morning, I stayed awake by drinking lots of gatorade and holding a cold bottle of water in my lap, A fuse blew in my van and I lost radio and interior lighting for a while, it made me want to just drive to mexico and sell all the musical gear i was carrying, but instead I bought a fuse and the radio came back on, but without sound because it needed some anti theft code, i finally got it by calling back to texas and i regained sanity. here are some photos and references of the tripPhotobucketPhotobucketThis is the Cowboy Bail Bond store right across the street from the Prison in Dallas, wtf!!!PhotobucketAt this point in the Desert along the mexican border I could see into mexico, the buildings and land on one side, and the benign american neon on my side, lots of border patrol and even border cross type stops just along the highway, America is all immigrants why fuss so much. PhotobucketDeep in west texas all there was available to eat was gizzards at this stop, Texas Cuisine Mentality, this is why I get nervous in the south when I open my mouth, I am a northerner
PhotobucketHitch Hiking across the US have you seen the David Choe Show on VBS thumbs up. An entertaining view on hitch hiking in the US, pretty light hearted though the culture can get so much darkerPhotobucketFinally I get to LA, Here is another Ariel Pink video in honor of the City of Angels
