I think Jonny said on the 'cast that he usually lives there but for the Summer he is living in Texas. Too bad.

I doubt I'd have the weekend off, especially since I am asking off the last week in July, but I would love to road trip it there if anyone else wanted to meet up for it. I'll have to wait and see if my job is keeping me or will be continuing to not give me hours.

I know I could ace both, too bad I live about 2,000 miles away (anybody willing to buy me a plane or train ticket? lol)
