So my soon-to-be roommate and I are going to Vegas starting tomorrow. We're going to be driving there so it's basically a two day trip.

There's a lot going on around here and I hear some stuff's been going down there so we're pulling all the measures of caution, but I'm honestly excited because I've never done a road trip before like this! (Jacuzzi, if you're reading this I promise I'll drive safely. And we'll take rests.)

That said, not-so-hypothetical question this time: What's a good way to keep two people entertained for a trip like that? Or if we want to keep this hypothetical, what will YOU do on a two-day road trip?

I'd make a live recording of the entire thing but I feel like that's stealing an idea off of someone here who said he want to do a live blog sort of thing for his college life.

Bonus Question.

>> You're moving into your first own place and you get to choose any first purchase like a piece of furniture or decoration or anything. No need for realism it's all hypothetical. What will you choose?

"What's a good way to keep two people entertained for a trip like that?"

you should fuck

[bombgasmic]

[oh my god]

... Beside that. Or anything related.

[wasthatmymom]

whats counts as related

like

is blowing too closely related

what about just hot tonguing

[pheromonecoffee]

There's this deer in the met covered in these weird glass bubbles.

I want that.

I would put it right in the middle of my living room.

Also really, really good music or books on tape if you like that kind of stuff.

[bombgasmic]

You should have a stand with a speech bubble and every week you can make the deer say something different.

I like listening to books but I'll have to ask Jacuzzi if he likes them too. Is that what you'd do too?

[pheromonecoffee]

It would be the talk of the town.

I have no idea. Depends on who I was going with.

[tatatarata]

You really like this question game, don't you?

[SOMEONE had to be the smartass. FIRST SMARTASS TO ARRIVE DOES SHE GET A PRIZE.]

I hope you're going with someone you can talk to for extremely long periods of time.

[bombgasmic]

I feel like it's more interesting to answer a question than to comment on someone's life update. I got you to answer didn't I?

I could talk to him for days on end.

[tatatarata]

Well I don't much better to do, so.

In that case, I don't think you need to worry about getting bored.

unfortunately all my "keep from going crazy in the car" things only work if you're in an RV and not driving. pick up some audio books?

text;

[bombgasmic]

That's been suggested! I'll look into it.

What's it like traveling in an RV?

[youngestone]

cramped. less cramped then in a car but still pretty cramped

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Music or audio books would be my pick of entertainment for a long drive.

As to your bonus question...a good bed will be my first purchase.

[bombgasmic]

Music and audio books is a really popular answer. What books will you choose, personally?

Describe to me your idea of a "good" bed, too!!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

A good mystery novel. Or it doesn't have to be fiction actually, there's lots of podcasts on anything and everything these days out there you can just download.

A good bed for me is at least double sized, not too hard and not too soft and lots of fluffy pillows.

I was just on that long trip and im pretty sure if there werent a bunch of us i wouldve just

lost it

so good luck

[bombgasmic]

Jacuzzi's a sweet guy. I'm sure he'll keep me in good company.

Any recommendations on places to stop or sights to see on the way?

[Surprisingly, those seem like very normal, down to earth questions. He believes he can venture into the network to answer them. After all, those people are coming to Vegas, aren't they? The least he can do is show them some proper hospitality.]

I would pick up a small rock at every stop. By the end of the trip I would have a whole collection of rocks to remind me of the places I had been. Perhaps feathers as well, if I could find them.

As for your second question, I highly recommend a potted fern. They don't need much and are very soothing.

[bombgasmic]

Will you know which rock came from which place?

Plants, huh? A potted plant would be nice to have in a new home. Looks nice. Is that what you'd do for your own place, too?

[charcoalfeather]

you should try burning a cd of music you both like or something.

oh and an indoor garden. that what I'd want

[bombgasmic]

I've got an iPod on me, so I can always get some music on their too I guess. Roadtrip playlist and all.

An indoor garden sounds adorable! I haven't thought of that yet, what'll you have in it?

[testsonseashells]

Have begun to find Neil deGrasse Tyson's podcasts quite enjoyable, but suspect I'm an outlier in that respect. Also, would buy bookshelf.

Dr. Mordin Solus. Contact me if in need of medical assistance in Vegas. Can be discreet about more esoteric changes.

[bombgasmic]

What sort of topics does he podcast about? It might not be ideal for a roadtrip, but I'm always on the lookout for good podcasts to listen to.

Thank you for the offer, Dr. Solus. My name is Nice Holystone. We'll do our best to keep safe and healthy, but it's encouraging to know we got help if we need it!

[originaloddcouple]

Well, if it helps, we're planning on getting some snacks packed for you guys!

But I guess you could get some audiobooks or catchy music?

As for furniture, Isaac and I bought a nice shelf when we first moved in together!

Oh, was it? I thought it was that one painting of the field.

You think so?

[Yes, they really just typed all of that. What was that other thing about hypothetical?]

audio because she likes talking to friends;

[bombgasmic]

It's so like you two to type out an entire conversation.

Snacks, though? That's so sweet of you! And while you're trying to remember that, I hope you know my actual first purchase in mind at least for myself is something from your store so you better be ready to have something good in stock for me!
