Bit O'Brazil

NOTE: This is from last September while I was in Brazil...

So, in addition to the organizing committee ignoring us about the fact that
we have needs for 34 rooms for the finals and us having to spend all day
hunting down a hotel that has room in the inn for us (btw … France also had
the same issues because they also have extra room needs), going on a joy
ride through the streets of Sao Paulo to get to the arena tonight with a
brake-happy driver (I think we may have been on two wheels at one time
also), arriving to the arena only to find that there were about 100 people
hanging out ready to watch the practice, music started playing just now as
Anne was trying to talk to the players. I look around for someone to ask
about having the music turned off (thinking, silly me, that the sound is
coming from within the Thunderdome), when Horovitz turns to me and says,
“you know there’s a rock concert next door tonight, right?”

“WHAaaaaaat the???”

“I think it’s actually in the parking lot.”

But of course it would be.

Oh yeah, and the bus stalled on the way to the gym.

You can’t make this sh*t up!
