Derelict Peregrination Leg 1: Drive From Mobile, AL to Ponca City, OK

*you can click on each pick if you want to see it bigger*

Well I started off this endeavor with some freaking awesome wannabe MC Hammer teal sweats I picked up at a thrift store for $1.25 in Mobile, thinking I would need some comfy riding pants. Come to find out my mom thinks they are the most heinous things she's ever seen. More fuel to the fire, and I think I'll wear them until they disintegrate. Proper start to a road trip.

First stop was Vicksburg, MI. This bridge was the only landmark on the whole trip I wanted a picture of. I found it immensely aesthetically pleasing.
We partied at the Ameristar casino, were Dana, our shit waitress, after heavy tipping, and 8 drinks, still couldn't get my step dad and I crunk. Fail. But the bridge looks pretty in the background!
Me with a Sparks in a plastic cup (keeping it road ready, and classy. Well played! :) in front of the casino.
Second day we headed to North Little Rock, Arkansas. This is a shot of the downtown. I slept most of this day and most of the evening we were there. Dramamine kills me! I get really car sick, so I take Dramamine, which handles the car sickness, but knocks me out. Fail.

How I rode 800 miles. Shotgun with my mom's little dog, sweats and a sweatshirt. Again, keeping it classy.

The dog's shotgun position.

The last day of the trip we drove through Tulsa, OK. Gorgeous town, AND they had awesome radio stations. I really loves it!!

Went to Okie's in Musckogee for the best meal of the trip, and $6.95 Big Gulp sized Long Islands!! (see below)

See Katelin drink.

See Katelin act silly. ... Standard story.

We got some silly pics of signs along the way too!

Like this jewel. Though not sure who wants to do business with one of those...

Hate to run into him in a dark alley.

I wonder if you can get some crack there.

Easy things to forget.

And finally, today we arrived at Ponca City! Below is me right outside my Mom and step dad's new place enjoying an ice cold Sparks and the beautiful view. Part one, road trip section= a success!!

Mobile, AL...Sorta Like Las Vegas

My fucking ass, getting my blog on. This is what I look like... blogging on the reg.

*This pic is a few months old ie brown hair, but you get the idea: whiskey, hoodie, laptop

Here in Mobile, AL we have so much time on our hands, Mom and I have been getting our paint on. Last night's craft project was making Christmas cards. This was mine: A Christmas cock holding a COCKtail.

Duh, what else would a Santa hat wearing penis be holding?? The only question is now, who to send it to...
Wow, only in Mobile will you have to pull over to let the Grinch and his train of shenanigans pass. Priceless.

The Grinch up close. Um...yeah.

One night we went on a Christmas light hunt. We penciled that in between watching the Ellen show, and our daying trip to the RV Office. Anyways, the below house won the 'Lights on a house award'

The view from Mom's 5th wheel here at trailor park. Excuse me, Mom's corrects me, here at the 'RV Resort' :)

The winner of the RV 'Best of Christmas lights' Pretty impressive with the strand of lights and mini tree. Well played.

Got this in the mail today. Someone must like me

Not many pictures, but as happening as Mobile, AL is.... It's sorta like going out five nights a week in Vegas...oh wait...No, but really it's fun getting to spend some quality time with my mom, and getting some insight on the Southern culture that I would never got the oppurtunity to experience. We're still not sure when we're taking this show to my hometown Portland Oregon, where our family is for Christmas, but until then, we are taking it easy in Mobile, Alabama. But who knows what adventures the weekend hold...

Oregon Pics!!

Oh-lay! One of the things I love about Oregon is that Mexican food is soo easy to get! Yum!

From August 23-29 I'm hoping to crash my Grandpa's (see above) trip to Sunriver, one of my favorite places on earth.

Housewarming Party

Me and my lil sis:

The man, DJ Pete

Me and Faye

The hosts:

The boys playing beer pong

3am, That's how you end a party! :)

Oh how fortunate we are to have such great friends, and what an awesome party! So many talented and wonderful people came out, like my two favorite photographers: Danny (Visceral Photography), and Bo (Boandbro.com), runner up best local DC designer, Ginger (Booshie Designs), model (and pictured above) Faye, and tons of other friends! (If you came and have a website, e-mail me, and I will add you as well :) We had people out back playing games in the huge lawn, people downstairs playing pool and beer pong, and listening to the one of the best local DJ's, DJ Pete (pictured above) and upstairs we had Call of Duty on the PS3. All the while BBQing, and hitting the keg. One hell of a good time! If you couldn't make it, don't worry, there will be more to come! Danny and Bo also took some Polaroids of me, so stay posted for those, and the next big party! :)
