Man, that little hot dog place in Misquamicut is awesome.
Somehow, despite living in the semi-rural part of Connecticut for 18 years, I've never been to a party in the woods. I feel obligated to find one when I go back this summer.
Oh god, you're one of *those* people, aren't you? :o
(kidding, I've never met a single person from Connecticut)
Hey, where'd that 'c' come from before the 't'? why isn't it pronounced connect-i-cut?
