Coming tonight is the story of The Black Canyon Debacle and a detailed listing of Flagstuff (stuff in flagstaff).

First food stop of the trip: oliveo’s in Tempe, AZ. Ok so I haven’t exactly put the miles up yet. My car is getting washed and this is across the street. This is a staple of late dining in Tempe, and I just recently discovered it. Damn good gyro and fries.

So, I just officially graduated from the Hugh Downes School of Communication at Arizona State University. The rest of the day is resting, packing, and a dinner with family and friends. 

I leave on the road tomorrow morning, so I guess should probably talk about where I am going or something? The first stop, which will actually take a little while, is Buffalo, Missouri. See, my dad’s barn got caught in a tornado a few weeks back, and I am going to help him rebuild for two weeks. The blog will be getting updated while I am there, and try to profile a small town and see what fun stuff I can get into. After I leave there, its on to Chicago. Nothing else has been planned, so it should be a rowdy good time letting it all unfold!

Since there is no real planned route, I have to set some goals.

-At least five posts a day.

-One of those must be about a new person that I met, whom I informed about the blog.

-If someone asks me to do something fun/stupid and it is a good enough idea, (that won’t get me arrested) I do it and document it in someway.

If anyone has other ideas please let me know!

Hi. I am Jake. On May 4th, I graduate from college. On May 5th, my grad trip begins. I will post things I find funny, interesting, awe inspiring, or dumb on here. Hope you like it.
