Box Shipment #2 Performance: Live Blog
Join us tonight at 6:45 PST for live blogging of the conclusion of Jordan Wayne Long’s performance, Box Shipment #2.
Mid-Day Update: Day 7
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 [...]
Mid-Day Update: Day 6
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, [...]
Evening Update: Day 5
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 [...]
Mid-Day Report: Day 4
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 [...]
Mid-Day Report: Day 3
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 [...]
Mid-Morning Report: Day 3
by Bradi Last night was relatively uneventful for me and Shane, although we both slept fitfully because we were worried about Jordan locked up in the van while we were snug bugs in rugs. We awakened around 5:30 a.m. and decided to hit the road rather than just lie there hoping to sleep and thus [...]
End-of-Day Report: Day 2
by Bradi The second half of today was relatively uneventful. We had nice weather (at least, not as hot as Arkansas) for the most part. There was a brief thundershower (right as we drove up to the Christ of the Ozarks, no less.), followed by a decent afternoon with cloud cover. Unfortunately, I think the [...]
Crate Dodging
by Jordan So, I’m supposed to be in Arkansas working on getting the crate ready to make its long journey to Portland in less than a month. Instead I’m stuck in a hotel that was recently obliterated by tornado and in a town that’s faring no better. It all started when I left Boston with my [...]
