by Mike Visser
Photos The black box ominously sits there across the end of the parking lot. I see someone walking out of the box, with a black plastic bag. I know what's in there and, at the same time, I have no idea. That's the mysterious appeal to someone who has never walked into Suzie's before. I focus my eyes and remember the mission ahead: experience the sex shop, in all its glory, for the sake of everyone who hasn't.

A Day Without Technology
by Guia del Prado Photos As I embarked on my day without technology, I was filled with a sense of dread. I was slow to fall asleep the night before, watching "The Soup" on TV and pulling up The Soup clips on YouTube.com simultaneously.
