great lakes delight.

hello loves,

so we are finally on our way to chicago. currently stopping to pay a toll ... check.

team gL started off by making our way to las vegas on night one. after a grand and unexpected reunion with the staff at in'n'out after the launch, we set out and soon arrived on the strip in las vegas. overwhelmed by all the lights and outright absurdity of the city, we stayed the night with cool contact number one: charles. he treated us to 'across the universe', beds, good conversation, and free breakfast. he's amazing.

day two consisted of us driving through utah and colorado, meeting up with the bolitho boys, amy collins, brice crozier, and the entire bolitho family. this was the beginning of many firsts for the team: multiple feet of snow, incredibly cold weather, getting the van stuck ... all good stuff. all in all, we had a late night, but laced with good conversation and many laughs. we took off the next morning very full with delicious food. we made our way across the rocky mountains, where the three native californians nearly froze to death. interestingly enough, colorado was probably a good twenty degrees warmer than it is here right now (currently a sweltering -2 degrees with a wind chill of -24). we tried to find some fun in and after denver, searching down buffalo bill's grave and a herd of bison, the latter of which was impossible to find, even after directions from a local natural enthusiast.


and then came nebraska ... while rumoured to be more intersting than kansas, nebraska provided no entertainment whatsoever. it is entirely possible that we could have driven that state with our eyes closed. we rejoiced with the arrival of iowa, which unexpectedly provided roads that were relatively curvy. unlike nebraska. which is as flat and straight as ... well, the flattest and straightest thing you could imagine. after a loud chorus of beatles songs, we finally made it to kristin's house in iowa where we spent the night. we left today with enough good (chocolately) food to keep us full for the next week or so.


so that brings us here. we are currently on our way to chicago, watching stand up comedy on youtube while scraping the ice off the inside of our windows. tonight we will be staying the night with a friend who lives just blocks from our first screening in the morning, in a juvenile detention center. we are excited to get started on tour and bring this to the great lakes region. we are sure we will have many more stories to send your way soon.


and now, we would like to present another video documentation from great lakes. oh, utah. please enjoy.

love and miss you all,
gL.

p.s.
please observe the following. this is a striking similarity that the team has slowly been coming to recognize over the past few days. sometimes the resemblance can be slightly overwhelming ...
