I Think UR A Contra*

Meet my friend, Mike. I once rode my bicycle from Texas to Alaska with him on a ride called Texas 4000. Along the journey we bonded well.

Somewhere in Wyoming

Aristotle once said, "friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies." My friendship with Mike is the epitome of this quote, much like my friendships with many others from the T4K ride. It's also a friendship that picks up right where it left off.

Read the emails below. Take note: I hadn't seen Mike in about a year, hadn't spoken to him in about six months.





This brief email interaction brought me one happy weekend. Mike stayed in the dorm with me, we cruised all around Chicago and the Pitchfork Music Festival, and we had a blast catching up and reminiscing!

Exploring Chicago

Chromatics on Saturday

*I Think UR A Contra is a song by Vampire Weekend. They were the headliner of the Pitchfork Music Festival. In no way do I think that Michael McAllister is a contra.

    And the end of all our exploring
    Will be to arrive where we started
    And know the place for the first time
