adopt a jarbaby.

The Natural History Museum (in Lawrence, KS) figured out an interesting way to make some money... an adopt a specimen program! Just think, I could have adopted this creepy jar baby. This thing gives me nightmares. He appears to be smiling.

hotels.

We got super drunk in Lawrence, Kansas. I'm a semi-responsible drunk and figured it wasn't a good idea to drive my beat-ass Honda around town. The closest hotel was called the Eldridge. Here's the fancy website

http://www.eldridgehotel.com/.

It was pretty awesome even though I spent most of the night throwing up into a really nice toilet. When we stayed in Missouri we were frugal. I even got to do my hotel trick! Here it is...



1. Cheap hotels usually have cheap, framed art to hide stains. Try taking the art off the wall. If the
frame comes off the wall...you're in business.


2. Using a common Sharpie, make a fantastic drawing. I made a triceratops.

3. Place the frame back on the wall. You've made a SECRET masterpiece.

I do this at almost every hotel I stay at but not the Eldridge, that place was fancy enough to know that people like me do shit like this...their frames were screwed onto their immaculatly whitewalls.

KANSAS!

holy hell, what a blur of a trip. can't tell you about it yet but here's a fun tidbit, I'm pretty sure I stopped someone from burning down a garage!
