About Will and Clayton's Bogus Adventure

Will Rappaport, known in the music world as Goodwill, has decided to part ways with the Gran Manzana, the Big Apple, the marvelous New York. The balmy weather, beautiful women, and constant budget crises of California now beckon, as do the promising prospects of the Los Angeles music world that we all hope will one day bring Goodwill fame and fortune.

To reach LA, Will has packed up the Honda Odyssey (pka Moby Dick) bequeathed to him by his parents, recruited his most trusted confidant and cousin, Clayton, and set out via our illustrious nation's parkways, turnpikes, and interstates on a journey destined to be studied, picked apart and critiqued for generations to come.

With this blog, we will share our experience --the cities and towns we pass through, the foods and drinks we consume, the curiosities we stumble upon-- as well as photos, updates and a daily poem.

We hope you enjoy.

For those concerned...

...we did finally get those steaks.

After sitting around a block from city hall for two hours awaiting the police (who, incidentally, never showed up), hitting up Wal-mart to get bungee cords, strapping the bumper to the roof, and exchanging insurance information with Ms. Michael Swervin', we finally reached the promised land.

The chosen restaurant went by the name Country Barn Steakhouse, and quite literally, it looked like a barn. The exterior was a bright red, and there were large barn doors on several sides, which I initially thought we would have to use for an entrance. It was classic Texan: gigantic, unsightly and conspicuous.

The interior wasn't quite as flashy, but had its equal number of Texan touches. Unlike the exterior, I was able to capture a couple shots inside, which I will allow to speak for themselves.

As for the food, the steaks (a New York strip and a porterhouse) were reasonably priced and were quite satisfying. Will described them as being "40 dollar steaks in New York." They were generously seasoned, tender and choice cuts of meat.

After a trying day, the food offered a slight sense of redemption.
