The Friday Five:
1. Will or did you go on vacation this summer?
Nope. Made plans, but they fell through.
2. Where will/did you go?
This weekend was supposed to be our annual Nags Head trip with my brunch group, but Al (the guy whose cottage we use) wasn't able to get off work after all. He had people come down about two weekends ago but Joe and I couldn't make it for it being so last minute. But it was all good.
3. What do you like about the place?
I've been going to Outer Banks all my life. From Corolla to Ocracoke, I've seen and done it all. But the cottage in Nags Head (okay, technically Kill Devil Hills, but most of us locals always refer to that whole area of Outer Banks as "Nags Head") is nice just for having all the terrific company, like Joe and Al and Mike and Hunter, etc. And Barco lives down there and works at The Pit Bar & Grill so it's nice to see him when we can too.
4. What don't you like about the place?
During the summer season it can get insanely crowded. Outer Banks is a hair-thin peninsula off the coast of North Carolina, so narrow that it basically has one highway down the center that leads you in or out, so when there is traffic, then you are basically stuck in it for all eternity. Which is why I like going after Labor Day. It's practically a ghost town by then.
5. Where do you want to go next summer?
Not quite sure. Either Boston, Chicago, or San Francisco -- three cities I have never visited. But if the Circus Theatricals have a play going on starring Jack, then I'm a-going back to L.A. for the third time, fo shizzle.
