My first week in Los Angeles!


Well,  we made it! So the drive to LA was crazy. McCrary and I stopped the first night in Biloxi, MS to meet Jake and Becca's parents at a casino, where I won $2, McCrary won $20 and Ricky won $100, go figure! Then we left for Austin, TX to take part of the SXSW festivities. We stayed with an old friend, Chloe. Texas blows, but Austin is not so bad. I got to see Have Gun, Will Travel play on my birthday which was a great treat. After Texas we tried to drive straight to LA but ended up spending the night in a parking lot in Phoenix, AZ.  Eventually we got to LA!!
