Matthew, I am so interested in your road trip experiences. I have seen some wild things while traveling and you’ve done a lot more of it than I have. Is there anything really ridiculous or insane that you’ve seen as a passerby/witness or while rubbernecking on the road? I loved your storytelling of people and places you’ve seen. Couldn’t stop laughing at the pipe fight between your dad and brother. Best, Alaina

I’ve met so many characters on the road and love to pick up a good “turn of phrase.” Language, and the colorful ways different people use it really excites me. Here’s a little excerpt I heard in Marfa, Tx.
I wanted to wander the local art galleries in Marfa today so I asked the concierge at the hotel I was staying in if he knew their hours of operation.
He said, “In Marfa sir, there’s no schedules, merely suggestions…trying to nail anyone down to an appointment’s like tryin to nail jello to the wall."

Congratulations on a fantastic book. Before reading I was your fan, but now I'm even bigger. At the end of reading, I just wanted to go and sit down somewhere with you, drink one margarita and talk about life.. So, given that you are known as a top margarita master, what is your secret to making the best margarita? Just keep on livin.
