Backtracking: Larrytown


Quick recap of Lawrence, Kansas:

We stayed with Iris's former stepbrother, Brad, who is 23 and has lived in Kansas all his life. Iris's mom drove us to Lawrence from Fayetteville. All went well except for the demise of my helmet, which Jon left in someone's car on the way back from St. Louis, because he is a deadbeat. Sally (Iris's mom) was kind enough to lend me hers. It is large and blue.

We went out to dinner with Iris's mom, and then Brad took us (minus Thomas, obviously, and also minus Laura, who was tired) to a bar called Replay, a true hipster haven if I've ever seen one. However, the band playing was good enough to incite the hipsters to dance, and even though Jon and Iris and I declared that we could not have more than one beer, because we had to wake up early, we closed the bar, as usual. I took several gas station naps throughout the day on Sunday.

The band we saw really was amazing, especially the drummer. I love the faces drummers make when they are really going crazy.
