Need to summarise the past few days.

WHITE CASTLE Thank god I bought the bullet and chose data for my prepaid cap. Walking home from this bar at 3:30am, and I see A WHITE CASTLE. I nearly cried, it was so perfect. You don't even know.

JOHN
Staying with my friend John in Brooklyn. He does sound and lighting for film and television. His notables include Gossip Girl and The Goodwife. Him and his friends aspire to one day writing screenplays. One of his roommates is taking a course on it now. I'm gonna try to engage him on the subject to get some free film schooling. His friends, some of whom I met last night at this guy Frank's place, all seem work in the film industry in some capacity. They talk about film and television more than Christians talk about Jesus.

John has a genuine love of film and what he does. He's met all these celebrities and name-drops a lot. He hates John Kresinski with a passion--he says his character on the Office in no way reflects his personality. I really hope he's lying, because to me that guy represents all that is pure and good in the world. Hopefully he's just thinks he can get away with name-dropping if he calls the celebrity an asshole. Speaking of celebrity encounters, this guy Jacob in my delegation hung out with Aziz Ansari at a club in Manhattan. He said he was super awkward and not funny at all, but you know he's just mining you in his head, just waiting for you to do or say something stupid so he can put you into his act.

MEGABUS Megabus is a budget American bus company. My new plan is to use them to get to Louisiana. Apparently it's dirt cheap to bus outside of the tri-state area. John says he once rode from Texas to Tennessee on Megabus for a dollar. Next stop after Brooklyn is Washington DC. I met a person at the conference who said I can stay with them there for a few days.

TONIGHT
John does some bar work on the side and told me to come around to his bar around 8pm for some free drinks.
