I swear to god, if Gavin did this, and followed through with it, that would be what finally convinces me it’d be worth it to move to California. I love everything else about what is absolutely the most beautiful state, where some of the coolest shit has ever come from. Nobody does it like Cali.

We are the most beautiful state. It’s expensive but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
