June 23rd: Melding with the Laptops

 Phill and Chris...Multimedia Editing in Kathmandu

A little celebration at 'La Dolce Vita' last night...Alex flew away this morning...and Chris and I worked on editing images and podcast footage...during the part of the day we were actually awake. Good times. The trek was powered by Tsampa...and these work sessions seem to be powered by Pizza. Yum. %^P

Last night, I managed to chat with the Loose Cannons in Los Angeles. I was so tired that the conversation seems like a dream. I got through to them at 4am KTM time...and I had been hard at work for about 5 hours prior to that. Yawn-o-rama. Regardless...it is always a pleasure to connect with Sonn, Steve, Mychal and Vic the Brick. They are full of good energy. I'll try and communicate with them every Friday afternoon.

It's just past 9pm and we are, collectively, on our 40th bottle of Coca-Cola...with a long way to go. Chris and I are going to spend the better part of the next few days in the editing studio. The internet connection at the Kathmandu Guest House has been average...at best...but we soldier on. It is great to go through all these images and footage...to re-live an unforgettable adventure...and look towards a bright future.

I'll continue to do daily updates...and hopefully have everything up to date by June 25th...
