t minus 13 hours

hey! in 13 hours, i'll be on a plane heading to europe, with my bud ching.  no, that monkey isn't ching.  that's muunkay, who's also coming with.  he came from the cube wall dividing dan and stu, and aspires to be mascot for our band, the monkey junkholes.  so he's coming along for some glam shots.  muunkay's ready, already has his backpack on!

quick plug for the monkey junkholes: if you were the high school kid who always wanted to be in a band, but could never quite figure out how to read music, or carry a tune, or play a real instrument, you can be in our band!!

ok, i need to make myself go to bed.  i wanted to get this blog going, and hope that it will be filled with fun and scenic places and things we're doing throughout the next 24 days!

i won't really believe i'm going to all the places that i've been reading and hearing about, and plotting on a map for months until i set foot on it.  let the journey begin...
