Where about? And I'll be working somewhere near my cape house all summer except for 3 weeks when I'll be doing an internship thing on the vineyard. Should be a productive summer.

Definitely pumped for some good weather as well. Also for it to be light out until 9:00, that's the best.

Leave May 12th to Warsaw, Poland to set up broadcast equipment for the Euro cup. Then Leave to Auckland on the 31st for a weeks vacation before I start set up for Sky NZ in Auckland for more broadcast. Then!...back to Warsaw on June 29th for a couple days of tear out, then to London (on July 4th) for set up at BBC/IBC for the Olympic Games. And finally finish my business trip on the 18th of July and head back home.

From there, I buy a longboard, and get my bike back up and running, along with see my lady. Then basically work and bomb around and do fun stuff..

Maybe Windells (Adult Camp) in August.
Maybe road trip to Vancouver Island in late August.

Then, since I'll be done school, just work and work and work and save up for that ski season.

Starting out in spring with some of the heavy pets tour. Hoping to get to 5-10 of those shows in the northeast.

A couple small fests in ny. Strawberry jam and pmt fest.

Then summercamp in illinois memorial day weekened, then wakarusa in arkansas a day or 2 after.


Then ?????? Gotta fill that in with some stuff


Then bonnaroo in tenn. Maybe phish Atlantic city all 3 nights on the way back north.

Then ???? Depends what shows and fests pop up. Hopefully some moe. summer tour dates. 2 nights of moe. in asbury park dirty jerz


Then hopin to pop on phish tour in indiana on the 8th and hit that through the 8th at spac.

Then possibly bisco, but probably not. Vibes the next weekend.

??????? fill that in with something

moe. down in august, then catskill chill, and prolly a few other small fests around then as well.


Hopefully there are some good further tour dates as well. To fill in some of those gaps.

Maybe my arm will heal up enough that I can surf near the end of the summer.

After a week of prep fly out to Belize to study the Howler monkeys for 3 weeks. We stay at a hotel right on the beach and get to take a boat up into the jungle every day. Also get to visit the zoo, a couple of wildlife sanctuaries and go snorkeling in the reef. Plus the trip counts as four classes so it's essentially a semester of school.

Then spend another 3 weeks backpacking around Honduras and Nicaragua. Get my scuba license, try some surfing, see cool places and meet cool people.

Head back home for the rest of the summer, end up in Vancouver or Whistler depending where I can find a job. In either case make use of easy access to beaches and the forest and get back in shape. Go on some cool scrambles in the area. Re-learn how to drive and get my full license. Go to the folk fest, jazz fest and maybe bumbershoot/live in squamish if funds permit.

Currently a double major in primatology and ecology. I'm hoping this trip will help me decide whether primatology is something I want to pursue further (i.e. grad school) or whether I should start working towards something like environmental consulting/conservation work.

Exploring with your girl and dog makes much more sense.

Nah. Haven't had a real summer job since the start of the summer in 09. If I worked all summer I'd have money but not be able to get the time off to use it anywhere.

Pumped though. Hoping to sell enough posters at roo to pay for my summer.

A break from school and time to relax. As long as your summer includes those two things you'll be good to go.

Moving to Switzerland for the summer. Traveling through europe for 5 months. Including England during the olympics. Then back to my tough life of living in Mammoth.

Key to happiness. Own your own business so you can do whatever the fuck you please when you please.

hopefully taking a trip with theabortionator to Summer Camp and Wakarusa in late May, then Bisco, Vibes, Falcon Ridge, Bass Island. and as much cliff jumping (hoping to break 70 feet, won't be easy to find that cliff if there even is one in Connecticut), mountain biking (mostly cross country), dirtbiking, and skateboarding as possible. and a whole bunch of hiking/camping.
