Road Show -- November 11, 1999
Pricing and Aftermath
So, we didn't actually go out on Thursday for various reasons.
But, we did go out on Friday! Obviously, there was much celebration that day
and all weekend!
Oh, I finished the Herculean Tasks during the course of
the roadshow:
- Verify the existence of a shot tower. I did this
with the help of David Bailey and a security guard and the Internet.
- Identify the name of the pedastels that police officers
would stand on to direct traffic in the era prior to the advent of traffic
lights. After calling a bunch of Kansas historical offices, I tried calling
automotive museums, I found one that knew! It is a British word -- "police
spands". How about that!
- Review the two papers Louis owed to VR2000. Completed
in San Diego and Utah.
- List the final standings for the Overall Girl competition
in the 1999 Skip World Championship. I went to the USA
Jump Rope Federation web page, got their phone number and called them.
The US actually one most of the age groups, although Sweden had a rather strong
showing.
Despite finishing the Herculean Tasks, I did actually attend
the pricing because it happened after the road show. It didn't matter too much
anyways. I had fun doing the tasks! And, I learned an incredible amount over
the course of the trip!
So, we priced at something like $12, which was above the
range ($9-$11)! We went out at $14. You can check it all yourself here...
I hope you have enjoyed my travelogue. Even if nobody reads
this, I don't care... it's more of a fun thing to do for myself anyway. But,
please email me if you have comments!
