DRIVE MAY 2008 IN GOOD COMPANY: Bonnaroo! ✹ The Ultimate Weekend ✹ America’s Best Roller Coasters FROM THE EDITOR As graduation approached, I started looking back on my favorite experiences from the past four years. After a bit of think- ing, I realized that my fondest college memories all included the same thing: Road trips. Many of these trips involved travelling to see bands with my best friend Drew. I remember each concert vividly, whether it was the quick drive to Rochester to see Jose Gonzalez or the 16-hour drive to Tennessee to attend the four-day Bonnaroo music festival. Other trips centered around my family, which includes my parents and three younger brothers. Camping in places like Maine, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and along the St. Law- rence River made me appreciate being outdoors much more than I ever thought I would. Yet, other trips stemmed from love, like the 10-hour drive I made with my brother Sean and “fourth brother” Ryan to visit my boyfriend Steve in Cape May.
