Yeah, that confused me too.

Maybe he meant the Beast?

That article also said that ILB was calling people in the middle of the night, which was pretty much untrue: all payphone calls and even the crew axon calls were during daytime and early evening hours for the most part.

I think the middle of the night calls might've been the Teddy calls from the Beast, although I never remember getting one at like, 3AM or anything. They were still creepy as hell, no matter the time of day. Heh.

Hubby is going to kill me if I suggest going to the Bellagio to watch the fountain on Saturday Jan 6th. He will have just come home for a visit after 8 months in Greenland. No promises, but maybe something will be noticeable and newsworthy. And the darn fountain goes off daily every half hour, nightly every 15 minutes....can't be there all night long.

So the sixth is before CES. Like 2 days before. I wonder if the blogger got the date right?

Yeah, it's worth noting that this isn't a news article -- it's some guy's notes on a presentation Jordan made, so I'm not sure how much its accuracy can be trusted...

Hey, didn't mean to sound insulting! Smile

Goodness knows when I take notes, I'm sure I don't get it all down quite as the person said it. I just meant when you're taking notes on a speech, it's not like you can go back and have the speaker clarify and fact check like a journalist would before publishing an article. And thank you very much for putting them up -- we wouldn't have access to that information otherwise and it was awesome to hear about the fountains.
