If you're talking Celsius, then yeah, we could get down to -10C in January. But, that's a relatively rare event. I mean, unless you decide to visit New England.

Dude, I live in Saskatoon. I play hockey in -40C weather during the winter. By comparison, I laugh at -10.

Cleveland has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It also has the Browns, the Indians, and the Cavaliers...... Ok it has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

You sicken me, you lousy excuse for a bearded, communist hobo.

If you are not ravaged by the elements how will you ever invoke enough pity to beg?
This is like homeless 101 here.

You do realise we're not cavemen anymore and we can jump on planes and move somewhere it's not stupidly cold?

Nobody cares about your silly American sports. As for the rock n roll hall of fame the Sex Pistols tell me its a piss-stain and I'm not going to argue with them.

Santa Cruz has pretty okay buses and while I don't know numbers I can tell you we never hit 0C. As long as you stay out of the water. Shit comes down from Alaska. Can help during summer if the wind is right but you don't want to go swimming if you're against being cold. The only time I would even be worried about it getting uncomfortably cold is December/January rain.

We have a university full of lefties. Most are boring liberals but there's some anarcho-syndicalists who run the kresge co-op. Also we have like a million pizza places, and if you want to get fat on American food American Pizza is the food to get fat on.

Also, we got hella hobos. Not like your boring modern day just-got-foreclosed beggars, genuine life-on-the road types.

If you have your heart set on New York, and don't want to spend money on a inter-US plane ticket you can hop on the Amtrack. While there aren't as many train tacks in the US as there used to be it can be a fun way to travel.

For example, you could start in Boston and then go down through New York and into Washington DC.

Also, be aware that if you really want to hit the US SMB style that we have Drunk in Public laws.

There are like a hundred Santa Cruz on Wikipedia including like 15 in the US. I'm assuming you mean the one in California which I think is the big one but that's like the other side of a rather large country.

American left these days is like centre-right. Fuck those dudes.
Also I live in the land of deep-fried pizza. You need to do better than that America.

As long as they can play a mean harmonica and do a legless waltz then I'm down.

Thanks for the tip. I'll totally check it out.
Trains are the best way to travel. I challenge to come up with something that would not be improved by taking place on a train.

Like for serious? Is that just like you can't drink in public or can't be drunk? Cause that last one doesn't make sense. How are you supposed to get home?

It's be drunk in public. Who says laws aren't supposed to make sense? Depending on where you are and how drunk you are they might just throw you in jail for the night and let you sleep it off. They do that in my home town for example, but I can't really speak for anywhere else.

Regardless I think they expect you to pay for a cab or have a sober driver designated.

Also, if you end up in the southern US for some strange reason, hit up Shreveport for a day or two and then head on down to New Orleans. FYI Gambling is legal in Louisiana as long as it is on the water so you have this weird phenomenon where they casinos have built artificial ponds to put their casinos on. Shreveport has some nice hotels/casinos and not to mention has become a sort of second Hollywood.

Some of my best drinking times have been drunken stumbles home across the landscape, causingnmayhem on my way. That law just encourages people to drive drunk and cause accidents.

Fuckkkkkkkkk that.
