It poured that night, Glenn slept in his Honda, the party ended about 8:30p. I never could figure out if that was a nipple or a hickie

The pics are awesome. It'd be also good to know what's on people's packing list for camping/travelling in a bus essentials.

Aside from the regular tools and spare parts, the only essentials are food and beer.
