welp, he's back at home now.
it was really fun time, even though we had some forget ups. they were for the greater good, and now we more know more about how things work with traveling, hotels, the city (i learned quite a bit myself while downtown.)
we're planning another meet-up this summer so then we have more time to actually do stuff. i would like to thank mack for coming here, my family and emily's family for helping out with all the crap that went down with the hotel situation and transportation since emily doesn't have her own car and i can't drive yet.
i'll leave the thread unlocked for now until later today.
