After some theft between The Bob-O and myself (his G magnet and my Buzz) Alex and I took it off of his car one night after 722. When driving back towards Atlanta we decided that taking the G was not good enough...it needed something more. It just so happens that Chris Tomlin was performing at 722 that night (and The Bob-O is obsessed) so we decided to grab a dispoable camera from a gas station and attempt to find Chris. LUCKILY he hadn't left yet, so I talked one of his roadie guys into getting his attention. So, Chris came out, we talked, explained the situation, and took his picture with the magnet. A thumbs up one (for The Bob-O) as well as a thumbs down one (for me). He was a great sport about it.
Well, that's all it took. After that, the ideas started flowing!
So we decided to drive to Alabama! After stopping by West Georgia (Bethany & Maria), and the big "Welcome to Alabama" road sign (it seems like cars are going REALLY fast when you are on the side of the highway at night), then the Alabama border, where we actually got a hispanic guy to take a picture with the magnet (even though I don't think he understood what was going on), followed by stops at The Fox Theater and Tech, we were able to formulate a plan for the whole sceme. It was a long night. I don't think I got back to my house until 3:30am.
From there Alex took the remaining pictures with a UPS guy, with some GSU police officer's motorcycle, a car with a California license plate, at the rec center at GSU, with his roommates, and from the top of the Westin. After that, we sent the magnet to France and David took it around with him as he traveled. We were going to send it to Eileen in Japan after that, but decided that The Bob-O was getting a little antsy. But it really did go to Alabama and France! So that is pretty cool. It was fun...for Alex, David, and I at least. :o) Thanks Bob-O!!
