I was a member of my high school's debate team when I was a freshman. A nice lady donated a ton of money to the school so the debate team would have the same budget as the football team, and as a result, we got to do a lot of traveling.
Crescent City, California, is a meth-fueled town on the California-Oregon border. As a debate team member, I remember walking in the pouring rain to this aquarium, where sad starfish were manhandled by grabby kids on a regular basis. Our hotel was right around the corner from this aquarium.
During our 3-day debate tournament stint, my friend Brielle got locked in the bathroom in our hotel. The Magic Fingers feature on the bed wouldn't turn off. We watched MTV and listened to two songs on repeat: "Lovefool," by the Cardigans, and "One Headlight," by the Wallflowers.
Thanks to my dad for the use of his picture.
