Everything I ate in Portland was above and beyond delicious, glad we ended on eccentric flavors of farm-fresh homemade ice cream. (Salt & Straw)
I could watch Futernick dance with Gabe for hours. In fact, I made them do extra takes just for my enjoyment.A thing we made in association with Liz Meriwether.

The latest of our rejected Channel 101 pilots. We had an insanely fun time making this pseudo-New Girl parody. Watch it with your eyeballs, idiots.

"I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn’t try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist. I think you of all people would understand that because I think you of all people are alive and appreciate what that means. At least I hope you do because other people look to you for strength and friendship and it’s that simple. At least that’s what I’ve heard. So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be."
- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Jeff flew home last night so now it’s down to Mikey and I. Just two dreamers, living life to the fullest by screaming the lyrics to our favorite 90s music as we roll into Portland in the dark of night.
Been on the road for 2 hours and still have a ton of driving ahead of us. Thanks USPS for being the worst and delivering that urgent overnight package 3 days late. Thanks San Francisco and its inhabitants for being the best and showing us strangers a wonderful time.

I think it’s pretty clear that we found the party of the year.
I don’t think I could have had a better 7.5 hours getting lost (or finding a guy on a motorcycle) , followed by a beautiful trip with beautiful people and lovely experiences. I am in love with this 40 day dream and I hope it lasts 40 more. Good luck to Mike, Lauren and Jeff as they continue on the journey :)
The beginning of this trip started out precisely as it should have. The Trail of 100 Giants still has my wallet somewhere in it though.
Today we made a solid new friend in San Francisco and he took us to a restaurant where we ordered 12 dozen oysters and followed it up by hanging on his roof with a perfect view of the bridge at sunset. Tomorrow we wake up at 6am to celebrate Bay to Breakers which is something we didn’t know about but apparently is huge and from what I can gather its an all day rave/drug fest that centers around a 6 mile run. I love this place.
I just got back from one of the most amazing vacations I’ve ever been on with some of the most beautiful and kind human beings I may ever know. My mind was blown out of my skull no less than five times. Here is one of them.
The first part of our adventure is over. Sequoia was amazing. The beautiful souls went back to LA and now it’s just Jeffy, Mike, and I fighting over the best place to eat in Big Sur.
