Determined to make our highways happy, we drove everyone to various parts of the city, armed them with maps and suggestions of sites to see, and let them explore. I also made sure to issue challenging challenges at each stop (ala Miranda July).
I got this idea because I know Brad. And Brad owns a bus. Not just any bus - a big, white, beautiful school bus. He also owns a tiny broom and an awesome blue uniform.
So, I assembled this good looking bunch of people:
And we were off to explore the city!
We stopped in Chinatown and ate fresh fortune cookies from the factory there (each of the custom-made cookies contained dire fortunes for anyone unlucky enough to not get back to the bus on time). We ate sandwiches together and were instructed to propose to one another under tacky wedding gazebos. And, we ate birthday cake in the park with a beautiful view of the city. Adventure!
Nobody even got (too) bus-sick, so I think the whole thing was a raging success.
