KC's Maxim Road Trip won 1st prize! The issue with Shakira on the front, page 140 starts the article. They're the ones with the bus. I don't know if I should be glad or sad that none of the pictures from Chicago made it into the magazine.

Note that 1st prize is not "coolest of the cool". It was some guys who went to the Superbowl. Big whup. It's the holy grail of guydom, but a rather uninventive road trip. So KC and his buds only got $3800 worth of road trip supplies. I think that about covers the cost of gas for the Notorious B.U.S.

You know, for anyone else I would be surprised that they won 1st prize and got into a magazine that sells 2.5 million copies of every issue. But for KC, it's sort of expected. When I got the news thought to myself, "Well, of course." It's just another day in a long, bizarre, epic life. Every time I think I live a wild and wacky life, I just think of KC, and realize that there are those out there for whom life is like a cartoon.
