Joshua “Outlandish” Koenig and two of his friends are spending the summer driving around the US and promises to regale us with tales via email.

The first post is here. In it Joshua says the road trip’s been around “for maybe ten years or so.” Uh uh. National Lampoon’s road trips may be that young but traveling as a type of freedom goes way back. At the very least Joshua should bring along a copy of Kerouac’s On the Road.

But here’s how much of a dreary parent I’ve become: I’m worried by the boys naming their trip’s site — and ten years ago, how weird would that phrase have been? — “Vagabender,” putting the “bender” front and center. Yo, Josh, drink in moderation. And don’t forget to put on your galoshes. [Technorati tag: JoshKoenig]
