into the Wilds

Update: I am now employed!

The morning after I wrote my last post, I was asked to work on a film in northern Pennsylvania. I decided to take the job and I spent most of my day yesterday driving to Bradford, PA. I'm here till the end of October. Rather than think about all the things in NYC that I'm missing out on (MBV, All Tomorrow's Parties, the Buckimnster Fuller show at the Whitney, Autumn),
I've decided to make the most of the situation and find out what the Pennsylvania Wilds*
has to offer.

Since I've only been here for about 24hrs, I think it's too premature to discuss my new job and surroundings with much depth. But I will make a quick list of "Likes" and "Dislikes" based on my initial impressions.

LIKES:
-Architecturally noteworthy old buildings
-Cool nights
-Allegany State Park (potentially!) and nature in general
-Nice Co-workers
-Office dogs!
-Per Diem
-Planning weekend excursions
-Scenic Route 6
-Getting a lot of reading done
-Bargain hunting

DISLIKES:
-Subway sandwiches & food options in general
-Meth addicts
-Ugly Oil Refinery
- Lack of physical activity
- No bookstore!
- Talking about work and the film industry after working all day.

*I found out today that this region of the state is officially called the Pennsylvania Wilds
