Description

College graduation, a bittersweet occasion.

For Tosh Tyler, bitter; for Crosby Graves, very, very sweet.

For Tosh, graduation meant the end of a carefree, decadent lifestyle which featured four years in a fraternity with an extremely active social life. He had lived predominantly on junk food, cheap beer and psychedelic drugs, managed to seduce quite a shameful amount of coeds, and finished with a very respectable grade point average.

He did not want to graduate. Not yet, anyway.

If Tosh's college experience likened itself to dollar nachos in the sports bar, Crosby's path through post-high school academia was like wax beans in a cafeteria. While Tosh tailgated at Big Ten football games and ogled sorority girls, Crosby worked at a deli to pay his way through an art major at a local university. For Crosby, graduation meant an end to a disciplined routine, integral and rewarding, but not exactly fulfilling in the fun department. His four years of hard work had drained him of his lust for life and he approached his jump into the nine-to-five world like walking the plank.

Crosby decided he did not want to get a job. Not yet, anyway.

Two friends, two different paths, same result – wanderlust...

The Cosmic Burrito is the story of two restless college graduates who decide to postpone their entrance into the “real world” by taking the cross-country trip they had always dreamed of, a mind-expanding gumbo of philosophy and spirituality served with a generous side of youthful antics. Leaving New Jersey in an old Dodge van, Tosh Tyler and his best buddy, Crosby Graves, set out to find understanding, direction and the Ultimate Burrito. With one foot in the metaphysical world and one foot in the gutter, they search for meaning, yet never abandon their less noble interests. Tosh and Crosby’s whimsical journey, with the guidance of a mystical guardian, introduces them to an intriguing cast of characters and a new way of thinking.
