Audi 5000

Thanks to all of you who offered California mixtape suggestions.

I didn't actually use any of them, though, due mostly to laziness. 'California #2' was created using whatever songs I had on my hard drive, most of which had nothing to do with the Golden State but seemed suitable for driving. Some of your collective choices were very inspired, though, so give yourself a pat on the back.

Those of you who suggested the Red Hot Chili Peppers are banned from the blog for one week.

Coming next week: Nothing!

Coming the week after that: Trip wrap-up (Will it be self-deprecating? Tune in and find out!) and possible NFL draft "preview."
