Early morning in Seoul

Hello SEOUL

Sitting at gate 125 in Seoul right now.  Feeling pretty good, so I'm gonna ride that feeling while it lasts.  Here are some photos I have snapped from the trip so far..

Hello, I must be going

Last post in America,  I'm leaving now for a fun-filled 28 hour trip with 3 flights of varying lengths.  So I'll catch everyone on the flip side.

Farewell Sartell

Moving out of the Sartell/St. Cloud area today, finally, after over 4 years. 

Protip: Don't move to St. Cloud!

Protip 2: Do visit Sartell tonight at the Blue Line bar @ 8:00pm for a going away drunkscavaganza!

Bootleg

Starting my last run of work today.  Five days then I'll be free of 'work' for a year or two--which is admittedly nice.  If you're feeling contemplative here's an excellent concert recording from the Apollo in '08.  I wish when I went to Neil concerts in the states the freakin' yahoos could just keep quiet for one damn song.  It seems the English don't have much of an issue with that.

Countdown

Three weeks from today I'll be on a plane to Taipei.  Lots of stuff to get sorted in the meantime, have to reroute mail, sell my car, pay off my outstanding rent balance and store all my crap.  Then I have to decide what's necessary to bring along and then pack it.  We really need to figure out the whole teleporter thing and this would all be a lot easier.

Here's a slice of Americana from the ninties!

Here is a video.

Neil Young @ Massey Hall in 1971.  Enjoy.

Get me a ticket for an aeroplane

Mercifully I didn't have to brave the minefield on online ticket sites before my mom took mercy on me and booked a ticket that didn't involve 20 hours in layovers.

Pros:
I get to spend a short while in a new country, Korea.
No excessive layovers
One-way tickets are fairly cheap

Cons:
It's still a 28 hour ordeal
I'll almost certainly get pseudo-raped by the TSA


Lastly, a friendly welcome to my one and only follower Andy Frauenholtz who is in Las Vegas currently.  Here's to hoping he strikes it rich.
