The final proof I needed; you are, indeed, Mr. Incredible. I would love to see more of America through your eyes.

Wow! Thanks for the compliment James! :-)

I wish more Americans saw me through your and the bank teller's eyes. ;-) ;-)

"when I turned up at SOLOHQHQ [SOLOC4]...with only a few hours sleep over the previous two days."

Okay, hadn't realized. That explains a lot.

(I know how that can lobotomize you, having once had a similar experience arriving at a conference having just pulled all-nighters - I must have seemed out of it. Bad idea.)

Phil,

SOLOHQHQ refers, not to the conference, but to the house of Joe Rowlands, Jeff, Phil & Angela.

Alec,

Thanks for pointing that out. I had been wondering whether I needed to keep redefining my terms in the various parts of this series of articles - articles should, after all, stand on their own feet. Perhaps I'll put "See part X" from now on.

That said, Phil did read the first part and commented on it if I recall correctly (though I'm not certain, there appears to be a crack in my memory).

Phil,

I can say I was absolutely stuffed when I got to SOLOC4 - I got little sleep on the plane that flew twelve and a half hours overnight across the Pacific to LA - but Linz soldiered on long into the night (true to form) having made a similar flight hours earlier. Perhaps he can sleep on planes.

Okay guys, I stand corrected (I'm seated, actually). That said, SOLOHQHQ?!! Catchy! Those dudes must be in, let me guess, computers...

I can & I did, thanks to magic potions & having several empty seats beside me that enabled me to stretch out. Then there was the fact that I spent the hours immediately post-arrival with Alec, Garin & Jason in that bar/whorehouse place. Not only was there their stimulating company to keep me alert, there was the challenge of trying to seduce a sexy waiter who was studying to be a Coptic priest or something. :-)

As someone who lives in an Oakland 'slum' I found your account amusing, I know exactly what bank you are talking about. You were right to be concerned about your van, but there are really nice parts of Oakland, and actually the part you were in wasn't half bad, believe me. Have a good trip!
