You know you're always welcome in NorCal!

I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon, but for years I've wanted to do something like a tour of the US. I got friends and family to visit and it'd be cool to see some of you guys too if we're in similar vicinities 🙂

I have family around Boston, a very good friend in Houston and my wife wants to see New York and San Francisco. I wouldn't mind seeing Los Angeles, etc.

So it's a tall order if we're doing it all at once. Maybe when we're pensioners 🙂

[degrassi.knoll]

I'm an hour north of SF, it's a cool place to visit. I met Bob there and whateverdude years and years ago. Exo lived here for a summer so I've met him as well.

Internet friends are real life.

Maybe split it into different trips where one time you explore the North East of the US then the South so you can hit up Texas and then do a West Coast related trip.

I miss Bob. I went down to Florida to meet up with him and Roxy. I'm super close to Exo and he's even come within 15 mins of me but we didn't even know we were that close to each other or even planned a meet up. I will soon though.

I planned to meet up with holdyoualways but it didn't work out. She's super close to where I live too.

When you decided to do the New York trip, I could be your unofficial tour guide, which tourist traps to avoid and which underrated foodie spots to hit up, etc.

Speaking of, how'd you feel about the Trey Lance trade and the Niners going into this season with Purdy and Darnold?

Are you still in contact with Roxy? How's she doing?

Bro Lance just did not show up this preseason - I had high hopes and feel let down tbh. Darnold stole the show, what else can I say. Purdy's my boy and I'm amped for Sunday.


You know who I've really got my eye on this season though? Fucking Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley. What a duo.

I'm an unabashed Darnold stan - he's been on nothing but shitty teams with shitty head coaches thus far in his career, and most people have completely written him off. But man, can he throw a beautiful deep ball. Shanahan just needs to tighten up his decision making, like Steve Wilks started to do near the end of the season last year after Rhule got fired. And with all the weapons SF has, I think he'll seriously prosper. Not that I want Purdy to be injured, but purely based on SF's recent QB history, Darnold will probably get some regular season playing time, and I can't wait to see it. I think a lot of pundits will have to eat crow.

Yeah, Lance still needs to develop. I hope he gets an opportunity in Dallas. Things just didn't go well with him in San Fran, much of it not his fault. And how many prospective QB1s get shown up by a third stringer (Mr. Irrelevant)? Just unlucky for Lance.

Jags do look dangerous. And their division completely sucks, so they'll almost surely be in the playoff picture this season again. As a Chiefs fan, I'd love to see them embarass the Chargers again. What a complete turnaround in one season going from Urban Meyer as head coach to Dougie P.

It's still way too early to do a Super Bowl prediction, but I don't care - I'm predicting it's gonna be a Chiefs v Niners rematch.

Perhaps more fun of a prediction - when will Trevor Lawrence finally get a haircut?

[degrassi.knoll]

I stopped reading after you said you were a chiefs fan :p

I'd love a rematch, the idea actually rustles my jimmies - straight up grinning about it, truly.

Re: haircuts - I am staunchly anti adult male blonde EXCEPT when they have those pantene pro v locks that makes my own golden locks look like lawn trimmings in comparison.

Unfortunately, it can no longer rustle your Jimmy Gs. Now that he's a Raider, I'll have to see that handsome bastard at least twice a year!

So you only like blonde male haircuts when they'd be a better basis for a hair metal wig than you?

My jimmies never rustled for Jimmy G tbh. Vegas can have him, maybe he'll show up for them.

And yeah I guess it's a formative thing - the spandex and the long, straight, thick blonde look reeks of masculinity a la glam rock. Also, this might be why I'm queer. Lol.

I'm straight, but even so, if the Raiders don't work out for Jimmy G, there's always Calvin Klein. He's probably more suited for that then selling his pastrami sandwiches via Subway anyways. Guy is a class act, despite his frequent injuries and occasional terribly timed interceptions.

I hear ya, my father is the typical conservative men-should-act-like-men kinda guy, but he loves hair metal - grew up in the '80s. There's some hair metal I like, but whenever we talk music (and he mocks rap music or electronic music), I can always irritate him by saying something akin to: "Who wants to listen to cheesy power chords by dudes who dress up like chicks anyway?" 

If the Super Bowl isn't Chiefs-Niners, I'd love it to be Jets-Niners, just to see the Niners break Rodgers' heart one more time.

I'm not into long hair on guys generally. A little bit sure, but if it's long enough to put into any kind of ponytail I'm out.

And on a funny side note I just found out a couple weeks ago that my fiancé is graying and has been dying his hair since before we were even dating. My mind was absolutely blown, somehow he dyes it frequently enough that I just never noticed.

Now I'm curious. What would be your Mexican of choice? Best borough for food? Toloache and Queens for me.

Also, are there any actually good restaurants on Arthur Ave? Each time I've eaten there it was straight up cafeteria food. Which btw is exactly what Gordon Ramsay said about the cooking of some Arthur Ave chef who went on one of his programs.

La Contenta in East Village, if you want other options outside of tacos and quesadillas. Los Tacos No. 1 is the best tacos spot imo. They have a couple of locations and they are all pretty good even the Times Square location.

I don't eat on Arthur Ave so no comment.
