On the 50th anniversary of the publication of Kerouac’s “On The Road”, the two SDS vagrants scraped their transient bodies off B-Nasty’s floor in Vegas with a few hundred miles to go to Socal. After taking a train the wrong way (east), the boys returned to Vegas via cab, and spent the remainder of their $100 at the gentelman’s club. With no money and 200 extra miles added to their trip, they got a sympathy ride from B-Nasty, aka Big White Security, to the Oakley Mack Dawg premiere. Eight days into their transcontinental thumb ride, and 3,000 miles later, Casey and Joel rolled into California on the birthday of Kerouac’s epic book about vagabond travel.

At the annual Oakley bash ended early this year at 11:00, Casey and Joel headed to Laguna Beach in the “OC” to party with Boznuts and Matty Ryan. Just as the transient duo had spent their $100 in Vegas, Matty dropped his last $100 on cocktails at the bar. Still homeless, Casey and Joel hunkered down in B-Nasty’s car for the night. A couple hours later, a rap on the window, called the crew out of the car, hand-cuffed them, and did a midnight strip searched. With no drugs found, the cuffs were released and the cops went on their way.

The next day, full transient style, the boys woke up and “showered” in the ocean and made their way down to the San Diego county. After lingering around not doing much, Casey and Joel finished off their challenges by heading to a Beta Beta Beta frat party at La Jolla State college. A little out of their MILF-Vegas-Vagrant element, Casey and Joel bowed out of the tech-frat party early and met up with Runke, the Rome marketing dude, to celebrate the trans-USA journey.

Rolling with rock-star status among the “industry” folk at the ASR show in San Diego, Casey and Joel finished off the trip with a day of beverages, broads, and late night fun after 3,000+ miles and a bunch of smiles “On The Road”.
