When we got out of meeting we had some time to kill before we had to head back to the airport and I remember that my good friend (and former ModemMedia co-worker) John McHale lives in Atlanta. I called him and found out that he his work was just a few blocks away from where we were calling from. He hopped in his car and five short minutes later, Johnny was on the spot.

Reunited and it feels so right!

I was trying to take a video of us rocking out but took a picture instead and managed to capture us in the midst of some pretty serious MetalFaces (check out Fatty pretending to play kit in the background with his DrummerFAce in full effect. Hahaha).

But we weren't ready to go home just yet...we stopped at 7Eleven to stock up on treats. Aw yeah, Bert.

We summoned Bert, our driver, and piled into the van for the big 3 mile trip home (bonus points to Frank for picking his nose).

Yep, here's where I spend 70% of my entire LA-trip...in the fucking car. (Thanks again Kate; you're a peach).

Rrrroooooooox-anne. You don't have to put on the red light.

For the sake of posterity, we set up the cam on the dash again to capture the crew at the end of our journey.

We meant to leave work at like 10:30 - which by the time we got out to my car meant we'd be able to be on the road by 11:30 at the latest. But we all ended up running late and we didn't get on the road until almost 2pm (which basically put us right smack dab in the middle of the "leaving town for the weekend" rush.

After sitting in 2 1/2 hours of really slow traffic all through NYC and Southern CT, we finally hit some open road.

Brian engages in the sigularly male phenomenon of "Doing the Dew." Fuck yeah! DEW IT!

From L to R: Joey, Lo, Tookie (aka - Isabella), Em and Me. (we took this pic by setting the timer and placing the camera on the dash).

Thelma & Louis (hehe) on the run. (Look at Louis in the background...see that serious face he's making? Yeah, that's because instead of enjoying the ride, he was responding to emails via his Blackberry messenger.)

Roadtripping Idgits.

Tookie totally tricked Grant into letting her have the front seat both ways by telling him that the backseat makes her feel carsick. HAHAHAHA! I can't believe he fell for that one. That's like the oldest "make you sit in the backseat" trick in the book. See what happens when you grow up without an older sibling?

Grant and Josh earned the friendship bracelets I made them for helping me move. These are two swell friends.

We tried to pose all tough and look like movers from the 1930's. I think the only thing that happened is that Grant managed to look like an ostrich.

Check out Jack in the background. What's tougher than this pic?

Me and Tarquin.
