I'm an IDIOT. As I posted on another thread, in the past 48 hours, I've slept just under seven hours. I'm leaving here at 5am to drive a trailer from NYC to Tennessee. I'm going to mainline some coffee, get me some truckers choice energy pills from the corner deli, and just FIGHT. Why? Because, inexplicably, I'm not tired. Too much on my mind. Two episodes of The Honeymooners on in 4 short hours. Subterranean's on. I'm ready. I'm fucking ready.

I've been to Gatlinburg, Tenn. which is pretty fun in a mindless sort of way. It's got beautiful mountains as well as things like go-karts and, uh, Dollywood.

― Joseph Pot (STINKOR™), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah we know ALL about the go-kart rentals. It's at the top of our 'things to do' list

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Dollywood's in Pigeon Forge!

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

at least I thought it was.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It is in Pigeon Forge. Pigeon Forge is CARAZAY

yeah Pigeon Forge is right next to Gatlinburg, my bad.

― Joseph Pot (STINKOR™), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

They're kinda similar. Pigeon Forge is more of a go-karting, laser-tagging mecca while Gatlinburg is kind of more Space Needle and arcade and Ripley's Believe it or Not. Both classic, though.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:41 (twenty-one years ago)

if the panhandle of Florida is the Redneck Riviera, then Gatlinburg is the White Trash Alps. Which is why it is fantastic.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Totally otm.

I really liked the "Jesus: the Choice of the LAST Generation" in a Pepsi logo airbrushed t-shirts.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

unfortunately Bunny Golf is no longer there, I hear.

the Ripley's Haunted Adventure in Gatlinburg blew my mind.

― Joseph Pot (STINKOR™), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Wifey sells homemade arts and crafts. Is Gatlinburg the place?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:48 (twenty-one years ago)

only if she airbrushes.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 16 August 2004 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

nope. More the polymer clay / oil and watercolor / mixed media / fairies and clothes variety of barefoot beatnik handicraft. She's really good at it

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 16 August 2004 04:01 (twenty-one years ago)

she'll probably do okay, but better than Gatlinburg, in Knoxville. Y'all should head up to Louisville for the St. James Art Fair!

btw my other fave memory from a shitty family vacation to Gatlinburg is the day we went skiing. Unfortunately they got like no snow that season, so my brother and I spent the entire day skiing down like 200 yards, and going back up and skiing down again. So fucking stupid.

man, i'm gettin' tired, but it's the point of no return. I sleep now, no WAY i'm getting up to that 4am alarm...i'm thirsty and all we have here to drink is water...and AQUAfuckingFINA no less. Shit tastes like salt. Getting in teh car seems like an ordeal.

I think I'll let Lady Jessica take the first shift today. If I'm lucky I can be passed out in the passenger seat before the sun comes up

FUCK AQUAFINA, last time I was at UBC bookstore all they had was Aquafina and I too loudly muttered, "Oh you fucking GUYS" while looking at the cooler.

Moving sucks dude, I just had one fuuuucked up move. Mgrs knocked on the door on the 31st when I thought I was moving on the 1st. Pure insanity - new tenants showed up while I was hucking stuff onto the front lawn to get the place ready for the carpet guy. Then I couldn't move into my new digs till the 4th, lived out of a bag for four days. I barely slept too.

My home state as well, tho' I'm no longer there.
What part of Tennessee and why are you going?
