How did I hear about this run?
I was reading
MetaFilter when I came across
a post about them.
I noticed that they needed lodging for Old Bridge, NJ which was 20 minutes from my house so I gave them a call and they accepted my invitation.
Up until that point they had secured lodging for practically everyday of the first month except for the first day.
They said they would call me a few miles short of arriving at the pick up spot.
At about 6:00 PM they called and told me to meet them at the Intersection of Route 516 and Route 9.
As I approached the intersection I saw them running and honked and waved.
They pointed for me to park up ahead.
When I parked, a guy with a camera and another guy with
a sound boom got out of a car parked next to mine.
They were the documentary guys. They wanted to film their arrival and us meeting for the first time
so my timing was perfect. One minute later Dave and Scott ran up and the filming began.
