The road to Ipanema...

[ericcoleman]

Or possibly Minneapolis... it's hard to tell with the roads out there.

Master Eric, after traveling for 90 minutes has managed a whopping 35 miles on his journey to Mars... con... yea, ya'lll try to be witty after 4 hours of sleep. Um... sorry guess you probably trying just that after the first night of the con.

He does believe the roads will get better the farther north of Ames he gets... yes, we all know he can be a bit delusional.

More updates from the road as he calls in.

149...

Mile Marker that is. This generally means about an hour to the Iowa/Minnesota border, but in this case Master Eric has come to a dead stop and I'm off to check road reports.

With any luck he may make it there by next Tuesday.

More later.

2 mile an hour

[ericcoleman]

Since last we met...

The dead stop turned out to be a jack-knifed truck blocking most of both lanes... actually he did a bit better than 2 miles an hour, 2 miles in 40 minutes... someone smarter than me up there can do the math, I don't do math on Saturday.

He's back up to a grand ole 40 miles an hour now.

He's also looking for some witty comments to these updates and is quite disappointed no one has responded as yet. So please, add a few comments so I can read 'em to him over the phone when he checks in next!

Later

2 miles in 40 minutes would be 3 miles an hour. Quite a blazing speed, all things considered.

Tell him that the roads had better cooperate, because I've been looking forward to his set at the con all week! Don't know if it's a witty comment but it's the truth. (c:

No witty comment here... just noting that you're missed.

10 miles to the border

[ericcoleman]

The roads are indeed getting better now the farther north he goes... go figure. If he can keep up the speed at 60 he should arrive by 3pm. Woo Hoo.

He wants you all to know that in his Herculean efforts to reach Mars he is bypassing his favorite record store in the known universe... which oddly enough is located in Mason City. You probably can imagine the pain and suffering the poor boy is going through. I'm certain there was a bit of a crisis in that car as he passed the exit.

Sympathy cards are welcome, no gifts please.

Does he have a favorite charity we should send flowers to instead?

[gundo.livejournal.com]

Let him know that if something bad happens, I get his POD.

This makes up for all the stickers he's put on my gear that says, "If gundo dies contact Eric..."

Someone remind me to scratch that out and replace it with "please contact Rob..."

Minnesota roads rock

[ericcoleman]

Ok... he's barrelling along at 65 miles per hour now and the ETA is bummped to 2pm. He's now hoping for valet parking and a buncha rodies to help him load in. :)

The preferred charity is The Kriel Foundation for aging furry punk rockers.
