     Arcata to Eureka, CA

Friday July 24, 2003

     11:30pm  I forgot, I had an entire tape to record on. I came over to this party last night. From the Endeavor, I piled into a VW bus and we drove over to some motel. Envy just got some cash from, I don't know and wanted to throw a party for all her friends. They rented a motel room and all the Arcata street people were there. It was pretty cool. They had some vodka and they poured me a really strong drink, which I didn't even finish. I got a good buzz and crashed out on the floor. There was like seven or eight people in that room. There was a big pit-bull named Dank.

                     Envy, whom I don't remember that being her name invited me to her party yesterday. I heard people calling her Jenny at the party and I kind of remembered that being her name. I was ready to skip town and bam, I get invited to a party! Oh yeah, she had gotten her SSI check and was celebrating. They ordered a couple pizzas and breadsticks. It was all good.

                      It didn't seem like I was too entertaining. I wasn't doing a lot of talking. I got the feeling like, "Man, there's so much shit that needs to be done. Why isn't everybody pissed off and helping me out?" That's how it usually is though. I just have to keep working on my mission.

                      I might get a foodbox today at 2:30pm. That'll be great. I'll have traveling food. I'm going to be ready to go.

     12:16pm   I'm standing in line here at the Endeavor waiting for food. I've got fifteen minutes to get some food. I'll make it.

     3:55pm  Some shit happened. Jenny invited a lot of people to see a movie. Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp. We watched about an hour of it, then they started talking real loud and the staff came in and kicked us out. Jen got a refund for all the tickets, so it's not that bad. It was getting really good. I guess I'll just download it later on. I was glad I wasn't paying for it to begin with.
                   Anyway, we're just hanging out at the VW van now. I just need to get my bus fare to Eureka and I'm outta here. I'm going to see what happens there. I am getting tired of staying still. I need to be on the road again.

     4:30pm  I'm walking down the street looking for Saint Vincent De Paul. Jenny, who gave me two dollars for my bus fare told me not to go to the Endeavor for a food box, but to Saint Vincent De Paul. They would give me some traveling food anyway.

                   Okay, I just got a lot of food. Jenny was right.

     4:51pm  I just scored so fat at St. Vincent De Paul. There were four things I couldn't fit in my bag, so I just took them back. I got cereal, cans of tuna and a lot of other stuff. I won't be hungry for a while.

     5:17pm  I'm out here at the bus station smoking a cigarette and waiting for the bus to Eureka. I opened up a soda pop. I don't normally drink soda, but I'm going to smoke a cigarette to it. Everything in moderation. Oh yeah, Jenny hooked me up with two Camels.

     5:39pm  Damnit, the bus doesn't come until 6:15pm. That sucks.

     6:32pm  I'm on my way to Eureka.

                   Hmm, the only reason I had come to Eureka was to go visit The Raven House I had been to last time. There, you can get food, check your email, and they have traveling supplies. I showed up, but they were closed.

     9:40pm  I've decided I'm going to walk out of town.

     11:00pm  Janet was gracious enough to hook me up with a cigarette. Thanks a lot, Janet.

Next day..
