damn hippies
one quick note about visiting New Hampshire.
everyone.. and i mean fucking everyone, loves loves LOVES the Red Sox. it felt like every other person had a red "B" somewhere on their person. it's baseball country up there like the south is NASCAR country. well, not really, but you know what i mean.
one other thing. the local bar folk there hates us. when a small group of scruffy-bearded, plaid wearing, skateboarder-type richmond youth walk into a chinese restaurant/bar hosting a karaoke night infested with classic douchebags, k-fed wannabes and girls with mile-high hair, people start to stare and talk. i mean them, not us. now i wasn't privy to most of what had happened, but there were blatant exclamations of "here come the hippies" and "what's up plaid!?". a girl even told ben "this is for you" (or something like that) while pointing at a diaper and throwing it aside. first of all, what does that even mean? and second, what's she doing with a diaper in a bar?
it was an experience.
i'm not going to say i detest New Hampshire, because the area is absolutely beautiful and must be even awesome-er in the fall when the leaves change, but i can check off New England in my travel list.
