Cementville, IN

We are seriously staying in a town called Cementville (or 'Concreteville' as Shara and Ro have called it), we were in Louisville, KY and had to leave the state just to find a hotel because everyone has no power and is taking up our cheap hotel rooms.

Anyway hi we are not dead!

Ok so there hasn't really been a proper post since the 28th and even though that is only a few days ago many things have happened! Will try to summarise in point form however I kind of feel like I am drunk at the moment and my head is spinning? That's upsetting.

+ Left NYC, took forever just to get out because of weird streets and people just driver however the fuck they like. Webber did exceptionally well at driving a backwards car on the wrong side of the road.
+ Drove straight to Maryland (missed the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, boo) and stayed with Ro's friend Susan who has a totally awesome and cute house and she was lovely and we all want to live near Washington DC now
+ Went to medical museum in Washington which was AWESOME!! But not enough body partz.
+ Met the handsome Kyle Daly in DC after a car tour with Susan, walked everywhere and when we came back to Susan's car discovered it had been towed!!
+ Said goodbye to Kyle (who was far too cool to give us hugs) and caught the metro back to get our car. Had hugs from Susan. She gave me bacon shaped band-aids.
+ Drove to somewhere outside Pittsburgh, hotel was $70 (incl. tax) for the room with free wifi and breakfast! You even made your own waffles!!
+ Woke up to FALLING SNOW. I immediately got dressed and ran outside to see this for the first time in my life, it's pretty amazing guys.
+ Drove to Harrisburg, PA and met Shara's friend Dee at Red Robin which had BOTTOMLESS CHIPS with your meal. God Bless America! Also if you had a bottomless drink the waitress brought you a new full one without having to ask!
+ All went to Wal-Mart, turns out our Wal-Mart virginity was broken at the same one where Shara's was 8 years ago.
+ Wal-Mart is insane
+ Drove to Monroe, OH to see 'Touchdown Jesus'. Ro found directions first by twittering and asking and getting multiple detailed replies, then asked a (likely) Christian couple if we were near 'touchdown jesus', not realising that it wasn't the official name for the statue and offending them slightly
+ Today drove to Louisville, KY and met Jon Bois, Daniel Chase Peach and Will at the local Arby's. Learned that they only see roast beef = RB = Arby's.
+ Walked around, missed out on the BASEBALL BAT MUSEUM, also missed out on seeing Col. Sander's grave because of the snow, ate sweet pies

Tomorrow driving back to Louisville and seeing those dudes again (try and see the giant bat) then on to Indianapolis to rock out with Casey and have an all-nerds Superbowl/LAN party

In important Lyndal news my phone has decided it won't charge anymore unless i charge it in the car and I have developed a weird fine rash around my eyes that is neither painful or itchy just creepy. I refuse to believe it's the 10% peroxide I am coating my face in at night so I'm still using it, as I never put it near my eyes.

Oh yeah and Webber turned onto a major road and went on the wrong side, but it was the second time he's done it (did it leaving Red Robin) but this time it was at night with lots of cars so that was scary! But to be fair he is real sick and tired and left turns are really disorienting.

Likely forgotten important things and we have many food reviews to catch up on but it's nearly midnight so bed time and enjoy this photo of everyone giving John Stewart the finger
