Spent the last 36 hours on a spur-of-the-moment road trip/overnighter holiday to Eugene, OR with my good friend @popegrutch.
Had an absolute blast. Enjoyed the beautiful cloudy cool days, fresh air, lunch at The Glenwood, dinner at Track Town Pizza, leisurely walks around the city, and '60s hippie tunes on his car radio. (Current earworm: "The Trip" by Donovan).
Of course it helps that I have many fond memories of that city, especially from the "old days" when I lived in Riley Hall at the University of Oregon (early 1990s). That's when I first came out as queer, got into the goth scene, discovered Paganism, and did an awful lot of tripping on LSD (lol).
Great to revisit my old stomping grounds. Even managed to get a couple of snapshots. (I'm not much of a photog, as you may have guessed).
Probably the most fun I've had with a friend in years. After a month of funeral stress and family duties, the trip was like balm for a weary soul.
Also, I kind of want to move back to Eugene someday? I think. Maybe? 4 replies
