Camera

Sarah got me a little webcamera for use with Skype. It’s pretty sweet. But as I prepared for yet another trip to Ohio (by the way, I’m in Ohio again), I had to find a place for it in my carry on and I didn’t want to damage the camera. I was looking around the house for a box. The one I ultimately found was the one that my distortion pedal came in.

As I checked to see if the camera would fit inside, I chatted with Brian who sat on the couch.

Mike D: “Sweet! It fits. Although the people at the security checkpoint might wonder why I’m bringing a distortion pedal onto the plane”
Brian: “Obviously, Air Guitar”

HA!
