My wife and I have found Undercover Tourist’s crowd predictions to be pretty good for planning. Here’s their general overview:

What is the rig he’s wearing in the picture? It looks like the kind of thing I could spend a whole evening learning about.

Did anyone else think, for a brief moment, that they were going to use “Barracuda” as the background music?

This is the first time IN MY WHOLE LIFE that I have actually spewed a drink on a keyboard. Congrats.

Having watched most of his videos, I’d say any kid would be lucky to have a dad like him.

Also, there’s a Swedish…

I have it on good authority that condoms have all sorts of safer-sex uses even for those who don’t deal with penises. Just sayin’.

I’ll bet this gig was an absolute fucking blast for the stunt people. Challenging, but the stuff dreams are made of!

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!
