I took a bus load of pimply teens to Southern California last weekend. We actually had a lot of fun.
The only downer was that we left at 11pm and drove through the night…and since I was driving the bus, I was exhausted on Saturday.
The kids thought this motel sign was hillarious. We had to stop to photograph it.
The Buena Park club let us stay in their teen center.
This sight really brings back memories. How many times did we cruise down Grand Ave. Especially when we were poor teenagers, moving our car every three hours so it wouldn’t get towed.

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer here…but the equality in marriage people have launched a “Repeal Prop 8 in 2010″ campaign that is accompanied by a butt load of posters, and I kind of hate the slogan.
It doesn’t even rhyme.
Why not, “End the hate: Repeal Prop 8.” Or they could have gone with, “It’s not to late to end the hate,” and in smaller print “help us repeal proposition 8 in 2010.”
Or something catchy. Aren’t gays good at catchy?
Joking aside, there are a lot of really good organizations already coming together to start the fight for 2010. If you’re interested in helping in California, you can go to repeal-prop-8.org. (I absolutely DESPISE web addresses with dashes…DESPISE!)
I think that a lot of young homosexuals were slapped in the face last November, and you’re going to see a new generation of young gay activists jump out of their closets and stand up for equality…and that MILK movie didn’t hurt either.
If you take religion out of this, the argument is easily won. You don’t have to give me the right to marry in your church. Quite frankly, I’m not interested in marrying in your church. All we want is our government to recognize our love, and give us the same benefits that are given to our neighbors.
On a seperate note, does anyone else see the irony in the fact that heterosexual marriage in this country is becoming less desirable for people (a la Oprah) as we fight for marriage equality?
