Hey, while I've got your, er, ear, can I ask you what your involvement in Halo 2 was again? It's for non-geeky, possible work-related purposes, I swear.

HA!! Yeah I haven't peed in a pool since I was a kid, but the larger bodies of water, when you're miles from a bathroom? Well, if anyone's gonna bitch at me over peeing, then I am going to point out the billions of fish, whales, starfish and anemones that are POOPING in there. Makes a little 'too much beer while boating' not seem like such a big deal. :P
I was an "axon scout" for Halo 2. I went around Seattle and Portland and scouted out phone booths, made sure they worked and took incoming calls, cataloged their number and location as wlel as the GPS coordinates. And the funny thing is, NO ONE said anything to the crazy lady calling and answering pay phones with her cell phone then wandering around the street nearby trying to find a good signal for her GPS. Nobody. I was amazed. :P All I needed was a shopping cart and I woulda' been SET for my life as a kooky baglady.
But yeah I didn't do anything too exciting. My friend was the one who ran the whole Halo 2 'I love bees" viral marketing campaign. I'm sure I could hook you guys up if you needed more info.

Won't somebody please diaper the plankton? Alert Al Gore!
Thanks much for the story about your kooky baglady experience, which honestly does sound kind of exciting from this end. (I certainly hope you seized the opportunity to talk loudly/recite box scores/sing Meatloaf songs to yourself in public.) I may indeed have to hit you up for your friend's contact info soon, as my editor at The Stranger is considering doing a big Halo intensive issue. (I suspect he's mainly looking for freebies from Microsoft, but, hey, it's a living.)
Thanks! (And, er, please stay out of the local reservoir.)
