VACATION ISSUE
08.30.2010
August is upon us, and with it comes the COOL’EH “what I did with my summer” Vacation issue. And what a summer it was on the East Coast; those who could flee the hottest July in New York City history did and those who couldn’t prayed to their gods. What did we do? Well, COOL’EH ate our way through South America and searched Amsterdam for it’s finest cannabis on the Netherlands biggest holiday weekend. We investigated sex tourism in Jamaica and the charter/public school debate in New York City. We caught a flight with Raekwon, chopped it up with Detroit’s Black Milk and quizzed El-P on what it was like to suddenly have “time off.” Maine, better known as Vacationland, opened it’s arms for COOL’EH and Tyler the Creator of problem child rap crew Odd Future briefed us on how LA does it. We read Jillian Weise’s brilliant novel about a different sort of vacation, and went on tour with Cleveland punk band This Moment In Black History. Author/Freeconomic Mark Boyle filled us in on his yearlong vacation from capitalism, MF Borat advised us on Kazakh travel and a former roadie explained to us exactly why he would never go on tour with Insane Clown Posse again. Then, once it was all said and done we came back to our shoebox apartments, sat down, and watched some of the worst movies of all time. Whew…seems like a lot once you type it all out…
