Exodus

For the sake of sanity I decided to visit Urbana-Champaign over the weekend and this is what I have to report:

1) It is better than Springfield.
What I mean by this is that Springfield sucks way too much to beat U-C in a fight. U-C has an unparalleled atmosphere (to anywhere else I have been anyway).

2) Firehaus. I think it was built by aliens. I may be exaggerating a bit, but it is aesthetically superior to any bar that I can remember. It's easy to understand why it took 2 years to wrap.

3) Illini. They sucked ass against Ohio State. I won't second guess the coaching decisions or belittle the officiating, but I hope they find a cure for whatever mental illness ails them.

4) America. I love it also. The 707 party was a blast I thought. Patriotism should be the backbone of every partygoer. Although some 707 patrons were worth less than a Saigon hooker, the party was a gruesome success. I slept on a floor.

Overall, I had more fun in the last two days at U-C than I have had in 6 months in Springfield. This decision comes at the expense of my pride and dignity, but who needs those. The people in U-C are respectively just as crazy as those in Springfield, but the sane vastly outnumber the insane. I have to see the 'Field insane on a regular basis. I can only describe it as having perpetual constipation.
