On May 12, 2012, Phil Johnston took a trip. His first stop was Santa Cruz, CA. He will soon travel to San Francisco… who knows where he will go after that. This tumblr documents his travels.
After a long, glorious week Phil decided to head back home to Providence. Fear not, dear followers, as it is entirely likely for Phil to pop up here and there until his next major adventure.
Adult super stores, poor decisions… Phil got…
Unlike Sea Lion in Santa Cruz, this guy was much friendlier to Phil… as Phil whispered soothing words to him over the rail, Lion’s eyes shut as if he took
each word in to his heart. Phil smiled until he realized that Lion’s contentment came from blowing fart bubbles into the water.
A light saber battle broke out on
the F train when Phil accidentally trespassed on to this guy’s turf. People looked on in mild curiosity and annoyance because the two fighters kept making pew-pew-pew sounds that filled the entire streetcar.
Phil… oh Phil.
Phil stopped into a hipster bar with a kid from Jersey, a dude from France, and a chick from a little bit of everywhere. He ignored his unique companions and chatted with a lady about Catcher in the Rye, until she decided he wasn’t cool enough to understand its TRUE meaning of social commentary. As she walked away, Phil said, WHERE YOU GOING BABY? I LOVE METAPHORS TOO.
Phil met Troy, an Aussie with ambiguous sexuality in San Francisco at the free beer tasting. It only took fifteen minutes for them to bond over happy trails, bean bag chairs, and the need for economical German cars.
On his way to San Francisco, Phil met this goat, Sheppy. Sheppy wasn’t impressed with Phil’s patchy beard and suggested he hang around to see how growing facial hair is really done.
It was a long day for our dear adventurer… Phil in front of his hotel.
On his way home, feeling’ good and pretty tipsy off the several “Manhattans” he consumed, Phil put on his dancing shoes, cracked an OE, and did his best James Brown. He got a standing ovation for his drop-n-split.
