Apparently, I love camping

Oct 30, 2006 Author: Veronica | Filed under: babble, out and about, video, work

Went camping again this weekend, down to Big Sur this time. It was Naomi’s 25th birthday, so the crew all drove down for a weekend of seeing Bonnie Prince Billy and sitting by the campfire. I think I’m going to start collecting real camping gear and making it a hobby. It’s just so nice to get away from the city and unplug for a weekend. Anyone have any recommendations for camping places on the West Coast?

Anyway, a lot happened last week that I didn’t post about. I got to play with the Wii, the new Crave vodcast came out (much better than the first episode) and “Vampire Secrets” aired on the History Channel. Remember, when I was a virgin in a sack? Good times!

I’ve seen how you camp. I’d love it too.

I look forward to seeing you in the sack. I mean, er, I’m sure you were an excellent virgin. Er, I mean, nevermind.

Ever hear Will Oldham in “Gratitude” on Björk’s Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack? Awesome.

Apparently you were Young Virgin #2 at best, since IMDB clearly labels Danielle Bárcena as Young Virgin #1. You also weren’t the Noble Virgin, since that honor belonged to Lisa Konczal. What does that make you?

Virgin #5

You’re not listed on the cast credits in the imdb for the show. Can’t help you on camping spots on the West Coast, sorry.

Hey, I did a 4 part blog on Big Sur… hope you had a good time. Check out my website for some local stuff I found while on that trip.

Stupid IMDB. I set them straight! However, setting them straight apparently takes 2-4 weeks.

V, if you wanted to get some geek adoration this Halloween, you should have worn the Princess Leia slave outfit! Oh well, I do think you look cute as Nurse Veronica…

I went as a virgin this halloween

Jason W., this is just a guess, but I bet Veronica gets more geek adoration than she knows what to do with.

If you want to camp for real you must come to the east coast.
Come to Georgia lake Lanier island great quiet and a blast for camping.
Wish I still hade pictures to show its beautiful here.
You would love it however I can understand the finesse of the west.
You havenâ€™t lived until you lived in the east.
Try camping in Georgia one time and I will grantee you will not want to leave.
Except to go back to work at tekzilla.
and you will wish they would move on the east coast.
Love your work
