Join us tonight at 6:45 PST for live blogging of the conclusion of Jordan Wayne Long’s performance, Box Shipment #2.

We’re just a few hours away from the final performance, and we’re definitely ready for that to happen. (Although probably not quite so much as Jordan is.) We arrived in Portland around 5 p.m. yesterday (Just in time for rush hour traffic, of course.), and we had a pleasant drive en route. Our first stop [...]

by Bradi We’re in Oregon now, and it’s lovely. Also? Still not much to report. Our first planned “roadside attraction” stop of the day is still a few miles down the road. We don’t shut off the van unless it’s absolutely necessary, since that would mean Jordan would lose power to his computer system; essentially, [...]

by Bradi (Note: There was no mid-day update today because, quite frankly, there was nothing of note to report. Suffice it to say there’s not much going on in Idaho right now.) In the afternoon we stopped by Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho, where Evel Knievel tried (and failed spectacularly) to jump the [...]

by Bradi We had a lovely night in a suburb of Salt Lake City. Although technically the temperature was about the same as it is right now in Arkansas, the fact that it’s so arid was completely outside of our experience. We’re accustomed to incredible humidity that makes the heat index rise considerably, so the [...]

by Bradi We made it over the Utah border and found our final destination for the day just outside of Salt Lake City where we’re staying with a friend (Matt Glass) who attends Cranbrook, the art school from which Jordan just graduated. After finding Matt’s house, he jumped in the van with us and we [...]

by Bradi Shane and I stopped by the historic Wyoming State Penitentiary, which is now defunct and serves as a museum, in Rawlins in the early afternoon. Afterwards we grabbed a quick lunch and decided to eat on the outdoor patio. We’ve wondered if Jordan could smell our food when we ate and if it [...]

by Bradi We have virtually nothing to report this morning. We departed Alliance headed west through the rest of Nebraska and most of Wyoming. The landscape changed dramatically over the last couple hours; it’s much more hilly and has a few bluffs and outcroppings in the distance. Also, the wind is incredible. Sometimes it buffets [...]

by Bradi The second half of the day was lovely: clear skies, open road and no ominous rain or wind. It was also…monotonous. Never let it be said that Nebraska doesn’t like its corn. The state is beautiful–especially this time of year–with its green corn fields, wide open spaces and blue sky. It’s also miles [...]

by Bradi It’s been a bumpy ride thus far. The detour took us WAY out of our way, but we finally hit Omaha and headed toward Lincoln. Looks like our intended destination for the night is a bit too ambitious due to the unexpected re-routing. That’s okay, though; we built a tiny bit of cushion [...]
