Internet Pirates Arrrgh!!

If you do a google search for "dry ice bomb helmet" you get a ton of pages that have stolen my video and posted it as their own. It probably shouldn't, but that kinda pisses me off. Oh well. And just in case you haven't seen it (I'm sure most of you have), check it out on my MySpace page.

right here

I'm the cameraman. You know, the guy laughing his ass off even though he's not quite sure if his friend is still alive.

B.O. Woof

If you haven't seen Beowolf yet, DO IT.

Now.

We saw it on the IMAX screen last night in 3 glorious dimensions. It was awesome, especially the battle with the dragon. Damn! The 3D glasses they gave us were funny looking, they covered just about half of our face. I wanted to steal a pair, but they had them bitches on lockdown at all the exits. Oh, well.

Athens: Final Day

I had one mission and one mission only for our final day: Buy a kick ass brass Spartan helmet and 2 of those really cool mini brass warrior statues. Most of the shops didn't open until 9 or 10, and we had to get a taxi back to the airport by noon, so I went into a terminator-like trance until my quest was completed. The helmet was the easy part, we just walked into one of the shops we had already scoped out a couple days before. Most of the more expensive stuff (such as said helmet) usually had a price tag on it, but the person running the shop always offered to give you a "special discount" just for you. So the dude said he's knock of 18 Euros, which was pretty good since I would've paid the price on the sticker anyways.

The mini statues were not so easy. They were as much as 22 Euros in some of the shops, but I was able to find them for 12 at another. So we headed over to that shop, but for some reason it still wasn't open at 11am. Uh oh. I refused to pay 15 extra bucks for each statue, so we had to run around a little bit looking for a better deal and still get back in time to catch the taxi. We ended up finding them for about 14 Euros, so I picked my two favorites (a Spartan running with a sword and shield, and an archer on one knee with his bow and arrow ready to strike) and we were on our way.

Found a quick place to grab a couple chicken gyros, scarfed 'em down, then bought 3 fantastic sugar-coated donuts from a street vendor and we were on our way. The view of the sea and some of the 3000+ Greek islands from the plane was unbelieveable.

We've already started planning our next trip back...
