So I arrived in OK City on Feb 8th in the evening. Now I had not seen the OK city Andersons in quite a long time. Although I had seen my Aunt and Uncle 2 years ago at my sisters wedding, the boys remained a mystery. The younger one, Mitch was an ex-marine. Scary images of pro-war brainwashed meat-heads flashed involuntarily through my mind as I approached Edmond, a suburb not unlike, oh let's say Woodbury, for you TC folks. Lucky for us all that was not the case. In fact he builds models out of match sticks, look it's La Tour Eiffel. My other cousin Tim is living in an artist type community in OK City---he just doesn't have the stomach to live out in the burbs, and as a former Eden Prairie resident I can't say I blame him.
So we all went for a nice family dinner and I spent a pleasant 2 days in OK City and even took Ed and Mitch to my all time favorite movie Avatar!
Imagine my relief when we ALL hated that horribly painful and misleading piece of National Guard propaganda they subjected us to at the beginning! They loved Avatar though!
From there I headed out to Santa Fe, which was the worst drive of all. Driving through Oklahoma and Texas nearly drained the life outta me. It got better once I got into NM, but then my friend Ed dragged me out to a show---I probably would have loved it had I been conscious--Rosie Ledet, Zydeco Princess.
