Powered by Timbits, I made it back across the border into the States with little ado.
Eventually made it to Hose's. We walked up to Tea Essence for a refreshing beverage. He had to work that night, so I went with him downtown and we attempted to catch some of Looptopia (the best part was this guy whose messenger bag was tagged optional). We missed the good stuff, because somewhat before eleven he headed to the office and I headed back to his place to crash.
