I have been trying to find out where to buy a Grand Rapids flag for a while now.
I called the city. There is a disconnected number listed on the website that says it is for "Flags and Logos," which may or may not have been for the GR flag, but I may never know.

Customer Service connected me to the Mayor's Office. The lady at the Mayor's office staggered a bit because the question is so odd (I imagine) but she told me that I could get one at Flags Unlimited. So I called them up and got one. I was told that this was the only place to get one, but mine is printed and the one at the Amway Grand is an authentic sewn (appliqué?) flag.

Anyway, y'all need to rep g-rap like this little dude!

If you look closely, you can see that he is doing what I bet you fools are doing...drooling!

I went to D.C. a while back.

I flew out of Chicago O'Hare. I thought the days of that airport being a total nightmare where over long ago. At least they give props where they are due:

I had a long layover and I decided that I was going to either find the best deal in the airport or just give in and pay the ridiculous prices for something not cancerous from the food court. I found this place! The World Famous Billy Goat Tavern & Grill. It was the only part of the airport that actually feel s like you are in the real Chicago. I got all the stuff below for like 5 or 6 bucks.

When I got to D.C. I met up with my boy Paul and my friend Chris came up from Virginia to chill. *Note to Beez: Peep the poster in the background.

Outside Paul's Apt. there was a mini sticker bombing campaign going on. Some dude made a bunch of stickers and put them all over the alley + covered some kicks and put them on the line. Some of theme were funny, some gross, all tried to be provocative.

Then I checked out the Hirschorn.

Not quite Agriffiti, but I think this is cabbage growing in the planters on the street in D.C.

And then I got a Job.

It is too late to register to vote, so this video is a little useless in that regard. But let me ask that you do two things for me:

1)Give Deee-lite their due props.
2)If you feel that you are undecided in the upcoming elections, just don't tell me. Seriously, the last few elections, undecideds have been "important to the outcome," but I think that people who are undecided at this point are really saying; "Yeah, I haven't really payed attention to any of the news. I might vote on election day. When is it again?"

November 7th, 2006.

If you need an absintee ballot, the last day to register for an absentee ballot is November 4, 2006
