Danny B is new in town (St. Louis) - the departure

Got up way too early after no sleep hanging with some awesome people last night.

Ryan thinks I'm kinda crazy for embarking on this adventure.

This is my first time riding the megabus. Its riders are...eclectic.

We're all a clausterfuck mass of people standing in front of 3 empty buses, the drivers not forthcoming with information. We shuffle aimlessly en masse as we try to psychically guess which bus we're meant to be on.

The bus to St. Louis-Memphis arrives. I pick my seat in the back lower level (inadvertently losing the cute skinny hipster guy I was making eyes at.) Instead, a heavy sweaty guy using old 7-11 plastic bags as luggage plops down next to me. Swoon.

"I guess its going to be you and me." Great.

"If I snore, just nudge me. And I WILL SNORE." Fuckin great.

"We right by the bathroom?" I nod, gesturing with my head behind me. The sounds that came out of the bathroom for the next five minutes were akin to a walrus mating with a rhino while doing the macarena with jackhammers. Gross.

Also, this alleged plug that's supposed to keep my phone, my lifeline, my only resource for this trip charged...is not giving any juice. Fuck me.

I asked for adventure and so it begins. Gonna sleep. See y'all in a few hours.
