Definitely a wild ride in Havana last week. Evidently all Americans can expect is a good stare-down at immigration. Running out of money halfway through sucked. Of course my cards didn't work on Fidel's island but who knew a country that supposedly loves its communism would be so fuckin' expensive. Fidel charges the tourists 25 times what a Cuban pays. The catch is that unless you land a killer job, none of them are ever allowed to leave the island. Met some woman from Wales who gave me the 60 peso hook-up. Got in touch with the revolution at a museum but made it back to CR without the Che t-shirt or green commander hat. The beach was covered in Cubans on Saturday. The rest of La Habana is massive '55 Chevys, ancient buildings that give it colonial, America's Rome kind of feel, cigars and a few billion stick ball games in the backstreets. All you need is a curtain rod and a ball of tape. Those skinny kids hit the shit out of it.
"Hey there Zach."

god bless you klatt for getting fucking mr bean out of my face every time i check this shit. your rampant incoherence is a nice bonus too. derrek lee awaits your cupped palm so he can cock slap you like he's doing to the rest of the nation.
klatt, will you be on campus the weekend of oct 19-21, theres a writing center conference im gonna go to if youre there. also, howd you get into the land of opportunity?
I know just the futon Zach. The only country in the world that truly gets it welcomed me with open arms (then reached for my wallet, but still). Your welcome Josh. It's my pleasure to replace absurd, irrational characters that the world loves to hate with Fidel Castro.
Zach, writing center conference? You think the manifesto was error-free? No way baby--that shit don't follow none of your rules and regulations. Viva la revolucion! Klatt-did you speak to any revolutionaries? At Coachella I stopped by the "libros revolucion" booth and chatted politics with a guy donning a Mao-Marx-Che shirt. We agreed on the need for big time change--but he wasn't down with my arguments for moderation and practicality. I guess the lesson for the day is that revolutionaries are pretty radical and have no idea what's right.
mike, why waste precious letters and syllables on "modern and practicality" when you could just say "faggotry?" youre gonna have to be able to boil that message down for the people mr. academia
happy with all the responses klatt
that fidel finger point is as endearing as ten-thousand "yeah david's in the basement"s from a mike klatt, lying prostrate on the couch...
Fidel is cracking a smile here is he not?
I found most of the revolutionaries working part-time hawking crusty cigars but they paint pretty inspiring pieces of propaganda on the weekends.
It definitely looks like he knows something you don't. I know it, but you don't, Klatt. The "Nash" was for you.
