Williams, AZ through Flagstaff, AZ

Nick: Happy Birthday Brian. I'd never have guessed that we'd still be on the road on February 1st, so I didn't really, like, get you anything. But hey, let's go to the Grand Canyon. That'd be pretty cool, right? Yeah. Drive, drive, drive. Is it me, or is it a little chilly in these parts... Wow Grand Canyon, I didn't realize you'd have mountains of snow all over the place. Oh well, I guess you were kind of pretty or whatever. We have photos, readers can decide for themselves.

Brian: The Grand Canyon is one of those places you have to see because a picture will never do it justice. That wont stop us from posting our pictures, but we recommend checking it out for yourself. And yes, there were several feet of snow on the ground. Apparently if you live in Flagstaff, or anywhere further north, you actually do experience winter weather. Who knew? Another hilarious thing I should mention: remember a couple posts ago we were talking about that podcast we listen to called Uhh Yeah Dude? Well, one of the guys who makes the podcast gives his cell phone number out on the show. So I sent him a text asking him to text my other friend James (a huge fan of the show) and tell him not to forget my birthday. And he actually did it. Everyone involved was pretty stoked.

Nick: Little did Brian know I was secretly hoping he'd get another text from a very special person sometime that day... more on that later. After we'd had our fill of the majesty and splendor of a twenty-five dollar national park, we hit a coffee shop for a little blog sesh. During our time there, the music was calm and sensible. As they were closing however, the speakers dotting the establishment unleashed some of the craziest euro-industrial tunes we'd ever heard. Rock on girls that work at Late for the Train coffee shop. We headed out from there to our host for the night Megan's house. Did you remember that we've got a trunk full of Pacifico and Glenlevit? We did.

Brian: That was basically the last thing I remembered that night. Megan was a cute/cool girl with a good head on her shoulders and a not so secret love of sci-fi novels. We chatted and drank for a while and then went to bed... right?

Nick: In the morning, Brian asked me if we'd gone out. Yeah, dude, we went out. Yikes. We weren't out long, though. When we'd arrived, our host had forgotten her ID so she and I took a FIVE MINUTE trip back to her house to retrieve it. When we returned to the bar, Brian had lost his ability to walk in and out freely. In other words, the bouncer wouldn't let him back in. Brian, stand on one leg! Show him how sober you... OK, never mind. Let's head back.

Brian: It will forever remain a mystery how I got kicked out of that bar in under five minutes. Brian and Nick kicked out.
