Fun in Houston


Let me preface this by stating that I do not know the city of Houston. At all.

So its the weekend, and I decided to do something crazy. Why? Just because I needed to get out. Since I don't know anyone I decided just to kinda go at it by myself. So I found a concert in this park near downtown and for some reason or another just decided to go Saturday night. Well... My plans went bad basically as soon as I started. The "highway" that I had planned to take straight to it was in fact a toll way that you could only use if you had an ez-pass, which I do not have. So i had to take backroads all the way there. With the high way it would have been an hour drive, on the backroads it took me an hour and a half, and somehow, with my magical sense of direction, I found it. Wow... its crazy. I kinda can't believe I did that.

Anyways, so I made it to the concert and it was really really cool. There were like 5000 people watching this mo-town concert. So finally I saw these three guys and one of them had a hat that was from a frat, so i knew they were college kids. So I went up to them and just said "hey, i'm from wisconsin". So we hung out for a few hours. It was fun. They were good kids, but i didn't get their number so I can't hang in touch with them which is too bad.

Also, me and my roommate Miguel went to a columbian restaurant (he's from columbia). The food was really really good. Lots of it too. So I was happy. Fried plantains! The beans were really cool too because they take beans and the mix in avocado right in the beans to make like a baked bean avocado thingy. Its cool.

I'll keep ya'lls posted. I'm playing ultimate frisbee tonight with some random people and I hope it doesn't rain. Otherwise work starts on Tuesday! I'm excited.
