ERIN - Me. Myself. The one typing all of this out. (age 17)

ADAM - My faithful & trusty sidekick (brother, age 14) who accompanies me almost everywhere.

JEN - My internet friend from Ohio, who I had already met up with (in person) several times. It was her 18th birthday, which was the reason for this whole adventure.

SCOTT - Another internet friend, but he's from Indiana. I had also met him many times in person, since he lives so close. Scott was the one who introduced me to Jen originally...

NICK - A close friend of a long time who just happened to be in Cincy for a skating (blading) thing, so he tagged along with us.

MAT - I didn't know him as well, but he's cool and was with Nick at the skating thing.
