Second only to those who have lost their mind and want to drive there, these fools are taking the bus to NYC today.
A flood emergency Friday before Labor Day Weekend.

Some new friends have joined the blogosphere- today is the launch of Happy Fun Time Friend Service, a blog written by people who do more cool stuff around DC than average and who want to show you have to have as much fun as they do.
Also, they’re tired of listening to people complain about how hard it is to go out and meet people.
Anyway, swing by, say hello, add them to your RSS reader.

Yeah, I know, undeclared presidential candidate and obscure gaming system do not an innovation make, but the screenshots are pretty entertaining and worth checking out.
