The Songs of Johnny Go

Flew to Boston for a comic con just one day. Henchgirl thinks we should totally tackle the New England guides through ROAD TRIP USA (I think there even is a ROAD TRIP USA: NEW ENGLAND guidebook!) sometime soon.

From:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Look ay Ky right there sticking out like a sore thumb. How on earth have you avoided it?

From:

It's never been on the way to ANYthing! Don't worry, we'll nip that in the bud on the way to Fresno. Can you recommend anything bourbon-related?

From:

Hrm... tour-wise or drink-wise? Definitely check this out - free tastings!

Also, if you're in Lexington (my home!), take a tour of this brewery:

and be sure to buy some Bourbon Barrel Ale. It's Ale brewed in Bourbon Barrels, and it's pretty amazing. Also, if you're driving, bring me back some. I'm all out of what I brought here with me. *cries*

From:

Drink-wise, always! Ohhhh man, we'll be going along 50 through Louisville, so Lexington might be a bit too much of a detour, but that Bourbon Barrel Ale is seriously bloody tempting. Is it commonly available in that state? I currently use awesome bitters aged in whiskey barrels, so I can only imagine what the wood does to ale. Mmmmm!

From:

Regular Kentucky Ale can be found around, but I've never seen any of their other varieties in a shop. Then again, they started making that just before I moved to MD...

From:

There's a great liquor store off Connecticut Ave that has the single best beer selection I've ever seen. If I can get it anywhere in DC, it'd be there. I'll have to check, as it would be better to enjoy it at home than on the road, naturally. ;)

From:

Dunno - have never seen it outside of KY

From:

Also, I am amazed, because beteween 64, 75, and 65, it's hard to get anywhere in that part of the country without crossing Kentucky. Just hope you don't have to cross it the long way - ugh. Bo-ring.

From:

Now that I think about it, it may have happened, but I honestly can't recall when or how. The road to Chicago/Indy takes me overhead through Ohio (at least I'm pretty sure it did on the way to Indy), and I bypass it entirely when I go South to Alabama.

How do you plan to tick Kentucky off? By doing the monologues in a fake southern brawl?? :)

From:

*realizes she's only been to two states -- feels inadequate*

From:

Which two?

California (I live here) and Arizona (Flagstaff!).

...I need to get out more. :/

From:

Well hey, maybe Henchgirl and I could say hi when we come to CA to perform in the Rogue Festival in Fresno! Even if you can't make it up there, we'll be going to LA for a couple days to eat at the Apple Pan (BANANA CREAM PIE MUST BE MINE), visit the family mansion (well, the outside gate, anyway), do Disneyland, and whatnot.

From:

If I am in LA at that point, I would love to at least say hello. (I am in San Luis Obispo for most of the year due to school.)

Hmmm. I'll see about Fresno. It's not THAT far from SLO. Two hours? Little more? Depends on what's going on with school. When are you scheduled? :D ?

From:

Oh cool! I actually drove through San Luis Obispo on my way North via US-1, but I didn't actually stop or doing anything! Did I miss something great?

Awesome! Hope you can make it! I'll be doing three shows over a week starting around March 4th. Specific show dates to come!

From:

Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and Morro Bay are right near there, though San Luis Obispo, itself, is a boring, sleepy college town. The one exception seems to be the Thursday Night Farmer's Market (every Thursday, natch), which brings out both the delicious food and the crazies. A friend of mine had a horribly-funny encounter at the Market a few years back with a man dressed like Jack Sparrow... which turned out to have been Depp, himself, during a night of crazy cosplay. Go figure.

Excellent! I shall make every effort to get myself North!

From:

You're going to Fresno?!?! Did I know that?!?! That's awesome! Hooray!
Also, those white states feel neglected.

From:

Like they were picked last in kickball or something.

From:

I got through on the waiting list! Will you be there? I also sent in for Cincy, so fingers crossed there (I was approached by a lady from Cincy in Indy, so I *think* I'm pretty well getting in, but still...)

From:

I am in Fresno and I applied to Cincy! Sweet!

From:

Is Henchgirl coming with you? She should. You can tell her I said so.
