My list of items to take include:
- "Beer" pajamas that Raquel and I had made for PJ-inspired Dinner Cruise - who knew I could wear them again!
- US Flag tattoos for our faces and to ensure we are allowed into all tents with minimal hassle. Everyone knows American's are better drinkers than the German's.
- Beer cozee. The question is which one. Might we be carrying around cans? Maybe litres? Shall I proclaim my love of University (Purdue) or pastimes (Margaritaville). THough since you can buy beer in a plastic bag, maybe the best cozee would be my iPad neoprene case?
- Typed lyrics, in case I forget the words, to three karaoke "go-to" songs to use at public karaoke hot spots - Bohemian Rhapsody, Wonderwall, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
- Lots of tissues. I can only imagine what the bathroom situation is going to be like. Wish I'd borrowed a Trucker Buddy.
- TWO Water bottles. Endurance is all about hydration.
- Three SUPER cheap rain covers. It is supposed to rain this weekend. I don't want to have to slow down. Plus, with three, I can eliminate the hassle of trying to take them off without ripping them.
I checked out the official website and see that the activities on the Saturday that we are in Qingdao. Unfortunately, it was all in Mandarin. No matter, I have Google, so I let it translate for me. The main activities are (as translated to Chinglish by Google):
- Personal blowing, big cup quick drink, drink a minute speed
- Women's blowing, big cup quick drink, drink a minute speed
I don't know that means, but I think I can win one of those!
In the words of Frank Zappa, I "seek the path to the sudsy, yellow nozzle of their foaming, nocturnal, parametric, digital, whole-wheat, inter-faith, geo-thermal, terpsichorean ejectamenta"
