so max and i hit the road for memphis tomorrow evening at exactly 8 pm, which is also exactly when i get off work. we should be in town by 11 or so. for the first three days we'll mostly be shacking up with my sister in midtown and hanging out a bit with my mom in mississippi. she's real bummed because she found out that they're closing her starbucks (she is a shift manager, just like max) she totally loved the culture and the "third place" aspect of working somewhere that redefines service industry social relations. plus, we're going to lose our bad ass insurance.
but i really want to see some ol' buddies--the group, matured and aged. i really want to see peabody park and the bottom of a 40.
on thursday zac harmon is coming to memphis to see blake and both of them will be crashing with us at my sister's.
the last 4 days max and i will journey down to holly springs and love around at the cabin. i have some jonathan franzen to read and some engels and lukacs for my thesis. there's also some duck to be eaten. and some avacado. i rented 2 lanterns, so we can take midnight walks on trails.
it's been since christmas since max and i have seen the beauty of 30 miles from conway. it's been since last summer since we've seen 30 miles from conway for fun and relaxation. long story short, we're giddy as all hell.
see you guys soon!
