My co-worker, his wife and I all went to a musical tonight, it was awesome; We saw Tarzan, which was epic, loud and crazy. Lots of flying people throughout the show, with some great "special effects" that I've never seen in a theatre before, like swimming under water and over-head view of people on a beach walking (but they're walking on the walls to simulate us looking down on them).

Very cool. I've had a few tastes of traditional german food, I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone says its awful meals, they're perfectly fine -- hell, even vegitarians can find a meal.

So, I somehow managed to get to Hamburg Germany on time, no delays, nothing. I showed up at the time it said I was supposed to be here. Burned a few euroe's taxiing my butt all over Hamburg to the hotel. I think I drove by some area of  "downtown" because it was lined with dirty looking casino's and porn stores and porn video centers. What's with that.

My humble little hotel room looks like it might be a hallway. Put two ping-pong tables back-to-back and you've got my room.

So, come the 18th I'll be in Germany. I'm going to be hanging out in Hamburg for a few days at a customer site helping out with some installations. I've got six years of German classes under my belt, feel confident I can understand and communicate a bit, hopefully all will go well. Mostly, I can't wait to see the country and partake in some of the beer and food. Hopefully I'll have some time to enjoy the culture like I did in London last year.

Here are a couple of my latest videos while I'm here.

Are you a fan of the XBLA Game A Kingdom for Keflings? Developer, Ninja Bee and ATC_1982 got together and created a contest where you can win a print of some original A Kingdom for Keflings concept art. Then, with the creative mind of Jonah Falcon, we came up with a question that you must answer to enter the contest (we pick a winner based on best answer).

Got a nasty cold, they seem to get worse at night too. Just finished the 2old2type podcast, struggled to get through it w/o hacking a lung :) Stay tuned for the big apology for attacking Caesar for those that wrote in to yell at me :-)

Until then, here is my latest video on the Chocolate Margarita, Mmmm...
