50 States: New Jersey (14/50)  |  New Years Day 2012 Technically this one came in 2012, but it was on the same roll as all of my other shots from 2011.  (Shh, it still counts..) Once we got over the Walt Whitman Bridge, it took a long ways driving into Jersey before we even saw this sign (Mer and I were wondering if the Garden State would even welcome us at all).

50 States: Pennsylvania (13/50)  |  December 2011 For as much as I tout my Pennsy-Pride, I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t the first state I crossed off my list.  Then it hit me that lately I’m always drivingout ofPennsylvania rather than back into it.. Mer and I are driving somewhere uncharted tonight—Minneapolis, to see THIS GUY tomorrow—so it only seems fitting to post a familiar, grounding state photo today. Who knows some good things to do in Minneapolis?

50 States: Wisconsin (11/50)  |  July 2011 The award for “Most Unique Welcome Sign So Far” would have to go to the Badger State. Pilot Cloud drove up for a mini-pilgrimage to Franks Diner in Kenosha while recording our split EP over the summer.  We’d stopped there on tour back in 2009 and been craving their insanely-tasty, artery-cloggingest breakfast platters ever since.  Unfortunately, however, this was the morning after a giant storm had passed through, knocking out power through almost the entire Kenosha area.  Upon arriving at Franks, a despondent member of the staff came out to tell us they’d be closed until the power came back on—and there was no estimated timetable for when that would be. Next time I’ll be sure to have a contingency plan to work-around Mother Nature ruining my breakfasts.

Terwood Road, Huntingdon Valley, PA Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, NJ/PA I-95 Southbound, Philadelphia, PA PA Turnpike Eastbound Okay, this is my last post waxing poetic about the trip home for the holidays.  Promise. Back in Chicago, indefinitely, and it’s time to get back to work.  There’s lots on the docket—both socially and professionally—to look forward to between now and summer. Hip hip motivation.
