I took a guided tour of the New York Public Library's Jack Kerouac exhibit this past Saturday. It was great! I didn't even know they *had* exhibitions, but they have several, apparently. They even have the original Winnie the Pooh characters on the 3rd floor. :)
Anyway, getting a new dose of Kerouac makes me want to rediscover my beat self. I got to see half of the original scroll for "On the Road". I love how crazy those guys were back in the day. I forget which friend of his it was, but at one point Kerouac, Burroughs, Timothy Leary, and the other guy rented a bus and traveled across the country together; for the destination they just put "Further". Fucking priceless...
