Baja Doesn’t Scare These Guys

by The Editors on March 10, 2009

45464639.JpgCarlsbadistan’s Ryan Griffith, 23, and friend Denis Mikhailenko, 24, aren’t letting the Mexico drug wars keep them from a nice night out in Baja Mexico, according to a story in the LA Times. They know exactly what they’re going south for, too.

“Food, clubs, girls, cheap liquor,” says Mikhailenko. “You can live like a king for way cheaper than you ever could in a place like San Diego. And you feel wanted here.” . . . After perhaps a dozen visits over the last two years, Mikhailenko says he and Griffith figure they’re safe as long as they treat everyone with respect, break no laws and don’t go down any unfamiliar streets. And the rest of their Friday evening?” Depends on where the night leads us,” says Mikhailenko, heading out to the street.

Turns out they drove down to Ensenada, got some food and “finished the night at a strip club.” Nice.

“As for Griffith and Mikhailenko, let their story show that even in dire times there are happy endings, of a sort…” HAHAHAHAHA
