The Lincoln Logs...

Mar 17, 2008 by Murtis

If the President was anything like the city, I would've shot him too.

The Lincoln Logs - Day 1:

7:00am Alex, Sturgill, Maury, David and Todd all leave Missouri to start off this fucking tour...Except Todd, the man who wrote and directed the movie, created and established this distribution model decided to have a minor heart attack 12 hours before we were scheduled to leave town, so his defective ass stayed home to sleep in, and undergo luxurious heart tests...fuck that guy...Off we go, sans our fearless leader...

We stopped at a gas station in Kansas City and saw a guy with a claw from the future. Future man stared us down as we made our way out of Missouri, hinting at what was to come...Still cannot get Eraser tape to play in the VCR

Gas station in Iowa where we tried to get a picture of Alex with a wild skunk, but he got angry and tried to spray him instead...Saw a truck telling us our Future was being delivered..

Got to the Joyo theater to see "Box Elder" on the marquee 47 feet high in neon lights...it was awesome...the rest of Havelock did not seem so spectacular. As we drove around, avoiding dirt piles trying to find our motel, we pass USA Steak Buffet, we got a BIG kick out of that.

2:20pm Drove around for an hour looking for the Econo Lodge which turned out to be a Holiday Inn. Eraser tape still not working. Super hungry.

2:21pm Still hungry. Guy at Holiday Inn gave us directions to the airport. I think they want us to leave. We should have taken his advice.

Talked to people on campus. Broke a guys windshield trying to put a flyer under it. Nothing to do in Havelock after screening. Bacon and eggs. Bed.

No sign of Todd.

The Lincoln Logs - Day 2:

10:30 am We got up and went to the Westfield mall to talk to people about our movie. Alex tried to get the Easter bunny to come, but we don't think he'll be there. Fuckin' jerk. We talked to a bunch of loser goth kids and mallrats (only 3 of which were cool) Apparently, we had some competition with Horton Hears a Who and Step Up 2. Kids in LIncoln are stupid. Todd claims his heart is not yet ripe for implosion, and will be departing Columbia, Missouri, "no later than noon, [he's] just gotta shower and then they are heading out."

12:00pm After dropping off some flyers at the 1 or 2 cool establishments in Downtown Lincoln, (Jake's Cigar's, and a record store nearby I don't recall the name...) Ventured around the Trendy Art's district of Haymarket and met a 50 year old biker named Lucky, who just stepped off the train and stole a Green GMC pick-up right before our eyes...(Look for him around 71st and Joyo)

1:00pm Sklar update: "There is 23 minutes left on this transfer, we need some Gushers, and then I'm picking up Kamau and Amanda, we'll be there for the Q&A"

3:00pm We got some awesome sammiches at Bison Witches and then headed back to good 'ole Westfield mall to hit the afternoon mall-walkers.

Todd confirms that he "just got on I-70 and will see us soon WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

5:30pm: Goodbye Westfield mall, Hello Havelock!! Things are looking very promising for tonights showing. Maury calibrates the projector (has no fucking clue what he is doing, just makes Dwight adjust the settings a bunch to make it seem like he does)

We gots some bomb-ass pie at the Isle Pizzeria, see our first non-ironic Cowboy hat and Sturgill gets mistaken for Jack Black for the 4th time today.

7:30pm: The Joyo Theater is fucking packed to the gills with 80% of Westfield Jr. High in attendance, a prominent Baker and his family, and a kick-ass dude who plays the didgeridoo. Well played boys. We celebrate with lots and lots of beer.

9:30pm Screening ends with a bang, Rennie and Maury handle Q&A duties, there are tons of enthusiastic questions.

10:00pm Look what cat dragged in, Todd finally shows up with Kamau and Amanda just in time to say goodbye to all of the fans who took time out of their Saturday night to watch his movie.

The Lincoln Logs - Day 3:

Getting the fuck out of Lincoln...
