Yesterday I found a ride down to LA via craigslist. The driver and other random craigslist passenger were both pretty cool. The eight hour drive really felt like nothing after all the travelling I've been doing.
   They were only going as far as LA, but I had them drop me off at Matt " Papa Smurf" Wilkerson's place. He was still in class but ( Read more... )

   So yesterday I went up to visit the dashing Mr Matt "Papa Smurf" Wilkerson up at UCLA.

AMPAC 2006 (finally)
   Returning from Vegas about a week and a half ago, I worked for a day, then there was the first day of school, and then I flew down to LA for the AMPAC 2006 Model UN conference ( Read more... )

   This weekend my friend Mara & I discovered a series of secret passageways, which led us to a helipad on the 13th floor of a building in downtown Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, however, we were cornered by secret service.
