This allowed me to meet the Show Tour crew that had just landed a few hours earlier and were starting their tour. That evening I partied pretty hard with a few of them, it was great! The rest of the week, when I wasn't at work, was a rollercoaster of drinking and being hung over. I don't think that I've ever had so much to drink in a given span of time. Alert is a bad influence on me. Their performance was great on Wednesday and then their plane was delayed an extra day, so the base had a big bonfire on Thursday night. Further drinking ensued and fun was had. Their plane made it out on Friday and the weekend was very quiet, a nice break. Anyhow, the slave driver is at my heels and I must off to the lab. Up, up, and AWAYyyyy.... -Karl
