A Long Day at the Office

You know you're up too late when Alex & Mick (who are both in bed) discuss and laugh like maniacs for 45 minutes about a fictional sign business they've just created and are working on slogans & business strategies for.  You probably had to be here.  And even if you were here, you probably shouldn't have been here.

You know you're up too late when you can hear people's doors opening and closing as they're most likely leaving the hotel since it's 5:45 am and they have work to do and places to be.  I, however, had some sleep (apparently I slept through our first ever live webcast from the van - seriously!) and am just doing a bit of days end work so I can focus on the rock and roll tomorrow.

Today was eventful - as several of you heard when we broadcast from our hotel room a few hours ago.  We had:

1 Forgotten Passport

1 Unamusing call to Homeland Security to ask about side-stepping Len's ignorance (see above)

1 Three hour delay (see above)

2 Drives past Mick's house (Mick took the subway to my house to 'speed up' the trip)

1 Live Webcast from a moving van (seriously!)

3 Border Crossings (they were so excited about the webcast that they blazed past our customs, had to return to get all of our gear properly id'd and inventoried and then return to the US border so we could continue the journey)

1 Border Detaining (when the gentlemen in the booth asks you to please drive towards the officer who will tell you where to park and where to go, things don't look good)

1 Hour of cold sweats as Homeland Security 'investigated' our plans

1 Near miss (we were allowed to enter with a fairly stern warning from a very nice lady)

1 45 minute delay while we repaired the lights on the trailer (we didn't want to risk another police incident)

1 3am arrival at a very nice hotel

1 Pantless webcast at 4am for approximately four people

3 Alcoholic beverages consumed (Mick insisted we keep it 'real')

1 New theme song (Alex & Mick went from conception to completion in fifteen minutes and it will be unveiled tomorrow)

4 Jerks going to sleep

Hope to see you all in the etherworld tomorrow.
