259-headed to memphis

this is the first day of my first trip to memphis to see my brother who moved there last may. the flight was easy, only 1.5 hours and as soon as you land all you see are fed ex planes. apparently, this is there hub.

first thing we did was head to the batting cages:

we wowed the kids with our hitting prowess.

apparently in the south old guy just can't get enough of the frat life so they form secret societies and hide them under the guise of philanthropy. then they throw a big ten-day long festival patting themselves on the back and culminating with the crowning of a queen and king. of course jester's were there to make people laugh by hiding behing masks and groping women. i was lucky enough to witness all the shenanigans since joel's band was playing the party. too bad joel didn't tell to bring dress clothes, so i had to go to the mall and buy some stuff before we went. hey, at least we got to use the "we're with the band" line and got in for free. anyway, for making fun of these guys it sure was a fun party (especially the band).
