Welcome to Texas

Posted on May 1, 2008 by christopher

We did the first truly long-haul drive of our trip across Arkansas and the eastern half of Texas. And by long-haul standards it wasn’t much, 14 or 15 hours at most. But those of you who have driven through the night know just how whacked-out your head gets around 2 in the morning. Personally, I find the zombie-zen driving state kind of nice. At least until I start swerving - then it’s time for another cup of coffee. It was during one of those truck stop breaks that Texas decided to say hello…

And by the way… I may be a little vain, but I’m not choosing the still images for all these video posts. YouTube seems to have a strange affinity for my face at its most awkward moments.

    Christopher… this is at least the fourth time you’ve worn that green shirt on this blog. Even though you’re on a road trip, these are things you should try to stay conscious of. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you, but I thought you needed to know. It’s for the best. Good luck and be careful with the rest of your trip and blog posts. I hope everything else is amazing.

    One request — I had only one request… Please stay away from funnel clouds.

    Listen Re-Pete, we don’t have much of a budget for wardrobe changes here at the recession road trip. I’ve been wearing the same shirt every day for the last two months. In fact, I usually sleep in it because we don’t have enough blankets.

    Or… maybe we shoot all our video on the same day then break it up and edit it so it looks like we’re doing all sorts of exciting stuff. Nah, that couldn’t be it.

    Re-Pete - I think you’ve got Christopher mixed up with his brother. One of them was known at age five to put on three shows in one day, complete with several costume changes for all actors. The other has been making careful fashion choices from the clothes-by-the-pound store for many years. Actually that is a different shirt in each picture - he got a dozen in a bale recently…
