Or, the “Color Blind” party.
Premise of the party: Arrive, drink cheap beer, color with a black sharpie on the wall various objects, including, but not limited to: A rendition of yours truly, a bicycle, a shoe, and a quote in a foreign language.
First, let’s take a trip down memory lane to look a the wall before all the shenanigans happened:
Classy, understated, white.
The drawing begins.
….
Barry, proud of his handiwork.
Mario loooovvvvesss drawing on walls.
The peanut gallery.
Shit getting out of control.
Kevin.
La reina de Polanco.
Chameleon girl.
And that was the “Color Blind” party. 100 beers drunk. Several new friends made. One wall ruined.

This website was conceived a year-and-a-half ago by my friend Barry whilst I was in the midst of a hippy-existential crisis-find myself-romp through Central and South America. It seems Barry often found himself wanting to know where I was (conceivably to send love letters) and so, like a portly phoenix with too much facial hair rising from the ashes, the idea for whereswetzler was born.
Since then, however, I have not had the decency or wherewithal to pay attention to the so obvious seedlings of genius planted and cultivated by Barry’s fertile cerebrum. Until today.
Ladies and boyz, welcome to the future. Welcome to a golden age. Welcome, to WheresWetzler.
In addition to being a travel blog, WheresWetzler will contain several other facets, including but not limited to the following:
Music (Hilary Duff)
Chipotle
Turtles (specifically: turtle escapes)
Beer
Girls
Skateboarding
Roe vs. Wade
…and Andy Bunker’s left thigh.
This website should’ve started a month-and-a-half ago, when I left for a whirlwind tour through Western Europe, or, at the very least, 4 days ago, when I left for Long Beach with my parents (though I’m sure you would’ve been thrilled to read about minesweeper on expert mode and my second viewing of Definitely, Maybe). Instead it will have to start today, and with a measurably less exotic (though none less dear to my heart) destination: Ravenna.
Ravenna, population 22,340 (source: JIMM census bureau) is a sleepy little hamlet, located just north of the AVE and nestled comfortably in between University Village and Greenlake. It is home to Boulevard Grocery (and the girl working there who my roommates and I would have sold our souls for a few years ago), the Ravenna footbridge (favorite smoke-spot of Roosevelt High School rebels and site of one-time ritualistic couch burning) and of course, Barry, who I am currently on my way to see.
Barry is 6′5”, weighs 120 lbs., and currently holds the world record for most Skittles consumed in one sitting, a contest in which he consumed 18.4 pounds, barely edging out “Toby,” a three-year-old golden retriever who consumed just under 16.
In addition to boyish good looks, Barry is also quite adept at designing web sites, and were it not for his work here, I would surely be doing exactly the same thing I was doing before my chiseled fingers had the opportunity to flit across this page, i.e. playing minesweeper and watching Definitely, Maybe.
So there you have it, folks. Thank you, Barry, and thank YOU for visiting this website, and continuing to visit and keep track of our already blossoming future.
See you soon!

Our first ever burritio “bol,” and/or, the reason I’m currently single.
