So I've graduated, got my Undergrad in TV-Radio, and where else to use that degree but LA!

Only problem is I live in upstate New York. So I will be remedying this via car in late June or early July, doing a big ole roadtrip. If anyone is interested in having me visit/willing to provide a couch one night to a broke college grad, let me know here! Currently my path is Rochester->Philadelphia->?????->Los Angeles.

I'd be glad to let you crash at my house, but I don't think you'll be going through New Hampshire on your route.

If you feel like driving down the coast to Wilmington, NC you can take I-40 all the way across the country to Barstow, CA. And you can visit me here in Wilmington, too. Wink

If you're passing through Omaha, you're welcome to stay on my couch. Be warned though, it depends on *when* you come through, as I'll be gone till the 26th of June and then I get three teeth pulled in very early July.

Turns out I should've taken my trip a week or two later. Not only would I have not conflicted with the NPL conference, but only TODAY did starbucks start offering free wifi in all of their locations.
