Still looking for sponsors to fund their trip to Washington
His team captain, 12th grader, Joshua Russell agrees. Russell adds, "I've never had a chance to go to Washington, so that's cool. That was my first thought. But it's always nice when you win a national competition. It's very prestigious and you know you've done a good job. It's a chance to show the entire country what our school can do."
That's what City Honors Principal Catherine Battaglia likes to hear.

you could have been golden
There should be a Europe entry eventually. I have to sift through the notebook and the pile of brochures and subway fare cards, I'd like to relive the trip through Sam West's digital photography. I hope to get it done before its irrevelent. I mean there was nothing too wild. I assume any entry would be based around tepid beverages and me wanting American girls to wear dresses because the French women were so attractive in their nice dresses. But you kids need something. I needed filler, so I figured I'd squirm around and make childish noises and poses, pick my nose and cry when my nosebleeds take hours to stop bleeding and then we'll all forget that I'm not making any real content. I can't bullshit my way out of this like the Pitchfork review of the new Hives album was able to. What a crock of shit, do they actually pay people to write that shit? Do bands pay pitchfork so they can break big, so Trevor will download their album? Chrismas tree light fire burns down my room, all the flyers and posters were kindling, wooden bed frame, t-shirts soaked in gasoline, hard liquor, solid fuel propellent, to quote my twin "Fat James" - Its time to burn this motherfucker down.
Ring in my ears, angels are dreaming of you. Fucking hormel chili for breakfast later today.
