A commercial comes on, and Tim leads me into the studio, where I greet everyone, and take a seat in front of the desk. We get to see Nathan do the show. He's behind a desk with all sorts of electronic equipment, and a mic in front of him. We're sitting around the other side of the desk, half of us with laptop connections, with microphones all over. Just about everyone but me have had a chance to get on the Mic at least once, and during a commercial break it's my turn.
People chat for a bit.
Afterwards, we split up and go to our cars to go to Hunan Homes, a Chinese restaurant where we're going for dinner. I'm with Anne in her car, Nathan goes off to make a stop at his house, Joe and his wife go in their car, and Terry takes Linda and Joe. The rest go in the Van. We wait in the restaurant for a bit, and somebody that neither of us recognizes shows up and hangs around. He overhears us mention Nathan's name, and realizes who we are.
