The action began at about 9am with the Greasy Pole Climb in which everyone tried to climb a greasy pole to reach a ham that was tied to the top.

"that was headquarters . they want me to go to las vegas and make contact with a portugesse photographer named laserta, he has all the details. all i do, is check into my sound proof suite, he'll seek me out." - raoul duke im in lagos portugal, we lost some crew along the way to other obligations so were in search of new blood. so far our search has borne no fruit, but i remain optimistic. the weather is also proving uncoopritive, making for a unpleastant ride from here to lisbon. ill have more details on that when we get there.
