The program is available on iTunes by clicking here or by searching for Super Bikes” in your iTunes browser. It’s $1.99 for the episode. Yeah, my ugly mug appears in there a little bit, but it’s still an entertaining episode.
I still have some image galleries online from the event:
July 3rd – training the locals
July 4th Parade – Two wheeled insanity hits Main Street
July 4th – The prime performance
July 5th – The aftermath
I got to wander the halls of the capitol once with the fella who is in charge of making sure that the right windows get changed over (using colored or blank window shades). He has a map that goes floor by floor, a diagram of how things need to be done from the inside to look just right from the outside.
The star on top was airlifted by my friend’s dad in a National Guard helicopter – a Huey, if I recall – many, many years ago. It may be older than I am. If I recall, it has a twin on the back side of the building.
Christmas in central North Dakota wouldn’t be the same without this 18-story (plus the star) display every year!
Program host Rob Port was kind enough to ask me to hang out with him on the air during his show tonight. The show airs from 7pm to 9pm. I’m grateful for the opportunity – thanks, Rob!
I couldn’t help but whip together a quick post akin to my first “Night at the Museum” type post from a while back. Here’s a shot of what the tree looks like at night when nobody’s around, from inside the Great Hall. It needs a Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack in there…the acoustics would be really cool!
Christmas is in full swing in my family. Both of our little boys are two years old now, which means they can actually understand what’s going on. That makes Christmas even more enjoyable! I love watching them in their excitement, and I love driving them around town to look at the lights. Taking them places to see and experience different things is one of my greatest joys in life. Yes, they did get to see the giant capitol tree tonight, too!
