Hello everyone. Welcome back to my solo road. I am sitting across for my friend

Jared. We are doing laundry in the San Diego-Carlsbad,

Oceanside, Inzanitas area. I think we're a little unsure. But, yeah, they're all within

like a 30-minute drive from each other so it's the night before

This big gathering that's in San Diego like every other month

But I kind of feel like this might be the is is this the biggest one? Is that silly to say?

No, because I think everybody flocks here for the winter.

Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, everybody kind of comes to Southern California for the winter. So,

and this is also the first one of the year.

So I feel like everybody kind of is amped up.

Everybody that's new in vans is like on their way and coming.

There's probably gonna be 300 to 400 vans. But yeah, anyway, so the same gathering that is tomorrow

was last year in January, apparently to the day almost,

where I met Jared for the first time.

It was cool. It was cool.

You sound very excited.

No, no, I was like trying to think.

It was really just, I was like, oh, what's up, Sydney?

Yeah.

But yeah, so now we've been friends for a year.

Yeah, and we've been hanging out in this area for like a week with our lovely friends, Alexa, who is on the podcast last week.

And then a couple people who will be on the podcast for the next couple
