Chris (2/8 2:45pm): Hey, do you know anyone with a fax machine
Jake (2/8 2:47pm): I thought they destroyed all the fax machines after WWII
Chris (2/8 2:55pm): if that’s true that’s unfortunate, if that’s false then i hate you
Jake (2/8 3:01pm): I’m guessing we can’t leave town until we find one
Chris (2/8 3:15pm): I never thought it would come to this, but, yes. We must fax to survive
Jake (2/8 3:20pm): How motivated are Kinko’s employees?
Chris (2/8 3:25pm): I dunno, why do you ask
Jake (2/8/3:30pm): just wonder how hard they’d resist the theft of a fax machine
Chris (2/8 3:33pm): don’t think they ‘d have to. their things look heavy
Jake (2/8 3:45pm): we have a van
Chris (2/8 3:55pm): yeah, but we’d have to drag it out to the street
Jake (2/8 4:01pm): we have the element of surprise
Chris (2/8 4:04pm): pretty sure they’d see us coming
Jake (2/8 4:15pm): we have everything we need
Chris (2/8 4:20pm): except a fax machine. I think i was a little ambitious with our schedule this morning
Jake (2/8 4:45pm): yeah. it’ll be great for a blog
Chris (2/8 4:55pm): just don’t quote me
Jake (2/8 5:01pm): deal
So we are still in Dallas, a short 21 hours away from our destination. Someone is bringing pizza, folding t-shirts, quietly sulking in the corner wondering what new horrors await in the near future, and here I sit, spinning with the Earth at a 1000mph and feeling dizzy. There have been, and there will always be, various delays to starting our journey. Sleeperstar is prone to timesucks, gravitywells, to which the creatively-minded are often prone. The great thing about having Chris Pearson in your band is his remarkable ability to take on large tasks with effective desperation.
Question: Our van is called “the Washington” (direct article necessary) due to its height and blanche color, and we now have a trailer which needs a name. Please vote in the comments:
A) the Martha
B) Curly Jefferson (AKA “the Jefferson”)
C) Obi Wan Kenobi (AKA “the Kenobi”)
D) Star Destroyer
E) Luke Skywalker (AKA “the Skywalker”)
F) the George
