Ohmigod. When we first got up here I INSISTED on getting White Castle. I had to see if it was as good as Harold and Kumar made it out to be. Conclusion: Yes, it is worth driving all night, hang gliding, and getting a cheetah stoned to get.
Oh, and the headquarters building is like a block away from us! It's a really neat looking building and I drool everytime we pass it LOL.
