Filed under: Ryan Allen Endorses — Ryan J. Allen @ 15:26 When I was with Katy in London I would point out the Starbucks that was visible from every entrance to the Tube. When Evan, Matt, Kevin, and I are in Prague we would “Czech In” every morning to Starbucks in Wenceslas Square. Last winter Adam, Eric, and I would enjoy the occasional 7 a.m. Starbucks trip before work. I visited Jill many times at Starbucks, even sharing her excitement in having some of her photos on display there. A photo of Tiffany is on display in the very Starbucks that she so happily works at. Muis, Foran, Gilles, Misha, Gervais, Joel, and I will relieve our minds from the grip of work with the occasional trip to the Starbucks a mere 300 metres walk from the office. My first apartment was right over a Starbucks in Kingston.

Filed under: News — Ryan J. Allen @ 0:41 This past weekend Adam J. and I decided to follow Built to Spill through some of the Northeastern US. Our journey started on Friday morning, driving through Montreal. We decided to stop in Montreal to get some Boustan’s, even waiting an extra half-an-hour until it opened at 11 a.m. We each got a veggie [...]

Filed under: News — Ryan J. Allen @ 22:42 I received my VISA bill in the mail today. It is particularly high this month, due to some business travel in August and a seemingly rampant drive to spend money. There are some hilarious pieces of information on this bill that I thought you’d all like to read about.
The bill is six pages [...]

Filed under: News — Ryan J. Allen @ 20:33 Yesterday I flew to Peachtree City, Georgia. I packed lightly, both because I’m only here for a few days and also because it’s incredibly hot here. I would have to guess that the mercury hit 100 today. I had about a third of a suitcase packed for the trip.
It seems I packed a [...]

Filed under: News — Ryan J. Allen @ 0:34 Last weekend was packed full of adventure.
My journey started directly from work. I had the pleasure of taking a 2009 BMW 750Li for the trip. This made the driving extremely enjoyable, comfortable, and easy.
The first leg was Ottawa to Kingston. I needed to stop into Kingston to pick up my tent and [...]

Filed under: Germany, News — Ryan J. Allen @ 9:59 I am faced with a difficult challenge: a year in 100 photographs.
Before I left Ms. Kirkey was kind enough to prepare for me a photo album with a collection of photos of friends and family. I kept this photo album on my coffee table the entire time I was in Germany. It was [...]

Filed under: Germany, News — Ryan J. Allen @ 18:52 Have you noticed that I haven’t written much lately? I promise that it’s not due to a lack of things to write about, nor is it due to a lack of time to write–I just don’t want to. I don’t want to write about the thing that I would have to write about: leaving [...]

Filed under: Germany, News — Ryan J. Allen @ 17:49 Alright everyone: In less than 24 hours I am off to Ulm to try to run a marathon. In less than 40 hours my feet will hit the pavement. As I’ve written before, I expect it will take me 4-5 hours–that’s a lot of music.
I need song, album, artists suggestions to keep me [...]

Filed under: Germany, News — Ryan J. Allen @ 22:06 I was in Berlin. The proof: I know about the Ampelmann. Oh, and there are my photos from the trip.
Church was lively and fun, the Currywurst museum was great, and the rain saved itself until the end of my weekend. Well, actually, it rained about an hour before I had to set out [...]

Filed under: Germany, News — Ryan J. Allen @ 9:56 I don’t usually encounter a lot of young people when I am travelling. My hotels are full of older people, Starbucks is quiet and empty when I visit in the morning, and of course driving around doesn’t lend itself to encountering new people. But, I have realized that the bike tour is a place [...]
