Tuesday, August 1
09:11
Daniel called Doyle from Seattle Amtrak station. Doyle woke up.
10:15
Doyle and Daniel enter Crave. Doyle says:
This place looks pretty sweet.
Doyle also poo poos Vancouver's cupcake store.
Faggy waiter with the memory of a goldfish checks twice to remind himself of our order (we ordered the same thing) Checks in a second time because he is a having a "crazy" day, and can't remember if we ordered drinks. We didn't.
We get our waters filled a half dozen times as faggy cook does his "thing" in the kitchen.
We receive our pathetic breakfasts.
They suck.
10:50
Leave Crave forever. Pissed off. Doyle decides to go for a muffin at this "good place" he knows.
11:00
Note: doyle's seaman's compass was in full effect.
Note2: It was Doyle who requested this note be made.
We arrive and order drinks and real food.
11:05
Rasta man sees my video camera and asks me if I want to shoot a commercial. He requests rates. I tell him we are just passing through, but ask what the product is.
You know, rims...(etc...)
Doyle notices from sidelines and is extremely nonplussed. (He loves rims)
11:30
Leave coffee shop after Doyle plays the ol' I gave you my license and I want it back trick. Girl is confused.
12:00
Realize we have made a large error. Turn around.
12:15
Hit the I90
2:00
Hit a bucket of balls at "the windiest place on earth". A gentle 5 mph breeze was blowing. (We drove the wrong way before finding the driving range, but it worked out as we were able to take a pee) The black lab was called black velvet. Guy says:
Are you guys retired?
We told him unfortunately not.
The place was called the Ellensberg Country club. A bit of a stretch.
2:20
Taco's del Mar, taco Tuesday. 4.99. Doyle asks for some cilantro. Girl:
No.
Doyle not amused. Sit under the palapa. Discuss opening Mexican restaurant, a la Baja Fresh, in Canada. Wonder how much effort/time would be required to make it work. Agree it would be a lot.
2:35
Ellensberg: Gas and Doyle juggles soccer ball. Get the computer out. Doyle's towel hits the pavement. Whoops. Talk about girls until 3:20.
3:30
Came up with 50 band names.
4:00
Discuss Montreal projects - talk about a show packaged around a theme complete with DVD and zine and special gift product, etc...
5:30
Go to a book store to try and find a computer book in Spokane. Lady:
Can I help you, because we're closing.
Doyle
Ok, well do you know where we can find a Barnes & Noble or something like that
thenLady
Actually, this is a Barnes & Nobles
Doyle
Ok
6:00
Go to another "Barnes & Noble" - get a book on making web pages. Doyle gets a coffee.
6:15
Got food at Wendy's. Daniel was disappointed by the Wendy's junior burger. The disappointment continued with a disgusting chocolate milk. Doyle liked the burger. Daniel blamed the US for the chocolate milk. Doyle will agree when he goes to Canada, Daniel promised.
7:00
Doyle and Daniel think up zine ideas.
7:30
Daniel studies up on making a web page while Doyle does Pimsleur French lessons. We are in Montana now, having passed through Idaho. Apparently girls from Doyle's (just saw a guy handcuffed on the side of the road) elementary school used to say
I-da-ho, you da pimp.
8:15
Doyle passes on the banana. Gets some beer nuts instead. Fool. Get gas. We are 57 miles from Missoula.
8:25
Daniel starts reading Marathon Man. Doyle gets nervous but doesn't say anything because he is also reading it. It is Doyle's book. But what are possessions when we are all on borrowed time?
Daniel is tired and wants to go to bed.
9:25
Arrive in Missoula, find a place to stay. Brookstreet Motor Inn. The sister hotel of Motel 6. Note, due to time change it is now actually 10:25.
11:00
Go for run. Locals seem to find this amusing.
00:00
Daniel returns and goes to Taco Bell drive thru. Doyle does Tai Chi. Daniel has a girl back up into him while waiting in the drive thru. She explains
I just wanted to change something in my order...
I am understanding.
00:25
Eat and complain about baseball. Both Doyle and Daniel agree that this is the worst time of year for sports.
00:45
Go to bed. Doyle has set up the pillow barrier. We talk about something cool but can't remember what. We try to fall asleep. Doyle gets up and turns air-conditioning on.
