Woo-woo. I figured out the club that had the private party where Ryan Conklin wore the fake mustache in episode four is “Upstairs” at 95 Spring Street. I rule. Now I can add it to the map.

RyanAConklin So I was in the Detroit train station, looking for a train going anywhere at midnight. They didn’t have one, but I won’t stop believin’.

I assume the person asking this would think my answer would be Ryan Conklin. In fact, my answer IS Ryan Conklin, but the important thing is why. It wouldn’t be because it would be fun to have an outing. We’re very different people with different interests and different tastes.

Ancient Greece. After weighing a number of factors that would influence the decision, I decided the most important would be hygiene and health. People during the time of the American Revolution almost never bathed and that didn’t change a lot up through the Civil War. Waste was not handled well in American urban areas and urbanization in Western Civilization had led to other unhealthy...

Do you believe in life after death?
Absolutely. If there wasn’t. then was is the point of any of this? Even if you had 90 years of a fantastic life, it would just seem like a waste of time. It wouldn’t have mattered, if there were nothing afterward.
