GMA

(transcribed from Book Two of my diary)

13:25 Thurs 20 Aug 92

Yesterday before the show, John and I got some elephant mylar balloons out of the UPS room and decorated the set with them. In the process, 3 of them got loose and required 2 or 3 full minutes to float to the ceiling. Amazing. After the show, Charlie was in a pretty good mood. I talked to him a bit - joking about how he was going to do the bunjee jump from the 30th floor. Pretty funny. I talked to TRQ (The Right Question), a pro Bush rapper, whose real name is Steve something. Doug and I taked to him after the show about getting him a T-shirt. At 11AM yesterday, I walked to the Lancaster Hotel and picked up some guy's Ford Taurus because they needed it at the Astrodome to get in. (The car had a sticker on it that would let them in.) I got to the Lancaster, and the valet dude opened the car door for me (It was double parked in front of the hotel) He wished me a safe trip and I drove to the Sheritan hotel near the Astrodome. They took the car and drove to the Astrodome, and left me in a new white Lincoln Towncar. Here's a quote from my day planner:

"I'm in the reserve parking spot since Lynn gave Jose' the valet five bucks. 11:37AM I'm listening to "summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. This stereo is nice. Nice speakers with great bass.

Shit the sideview mirror says "Heated" on it. Now I'm listening to "Sweet Dreams (are made of these)" The stero has a button on it that says, "audio" It cycles the display through the following: frequency/volume, Bass, Treble, Balance, Fade. And the Volume button (- +) switches them accordingly. Cool.

The airconditioner is on, and the engine is on. They're so quiet that I can't hear either. I'm going to sleep. 12:20PM Woke up. Now they have me driving the Taurus again."

OK. Back to real time now. So they went to the Astrodome, while I simply slept for 30 minutes. RIGHT!!!

It's now 16:58:15 Thursday 20 August 1992. Molly just called from Missouri. They're on their way home! Yay!!

Alex was watching Wayne's World again today. 20 Aug 92

Today at GMA, everyone was tired. I took pictures of the whole place and all the people. I grabbed some of the pictures that John took yesterday, including one of me zonked out hard. I totally totally need a foot and back massage. I wish Laura were here. Maybe Molly will do it. I slept for a couple hours todya, and then I did my budget and wrote a birthday card for Cheri. Now I'm going to get a 2 inch binder from Bizmart to hold my computer manuals. permalink
