Alley Gatorz

That was the name of the bowling alley the meet up was tonight. Your pun per day quote filled up right there.
today was pretty awesome all things considered. The meet up went well and I will get to that in a moment. First however, the things I did today.
The first accomplishment was visiting the Florida Museum of Natural History. It was alright. It has a butterfly house that is tremendous. The best I have ever been to. If you are into butterfly houses I very much recommend going. Hopefully I'll be uploading photos from that in a bit. The actual fossil specimen there were not tremendous, they had a megaladon and giant sloth, both of which are interesting, but nothing spectacular. I still think the ku natural history museum has some more impressive specimens. Still, the butterfly garden is awesome. Photos might come.

Part 2: my first interaction with an obama related person: Creepy as Fuck!
I pull up to the location I was supposed to stay for the weekend, first to set the mood of this motel you need to see No Country for Old Men. You know that motel where they hide the money? The one that is really scummy looking. It looks like that. I get a key from the front desk and am told that a guy is already checked in that I will be sharing the room with. I knock on the room door and this guy answers, he is about 37, a little overweight, slightly balding blondish hair, wearing a wife beater and leaning against the door. Also his teeth all looked like they were half chewed away. Very creepy. I went back to my car and proceeded to get a new place to stay for the weekend.

Now the pun induced meetup. It was good. The people nice. Unlike creepy guy everyone else was cool. The obama people aren't well organized but they are good. I met some neat people and had good conversation. A very cute 23 year old girl told me I have the most beautiful hair. Seriously she said the most beautiful. So that was cool. I met a dude who goes to school at columbia where abbey will be going, that was kinda neat.

Here is my only other thing. The reaction people had when I said I was from kansas were interesting to say the least. A lot of blank stares, a lot of looks that were just "seriously?" It was interesting. It's fun to see how stereotyped the state really is.
