Ferris Wheels we know, tires are another issue


If learning the history of George Ferris and the Hegeler family wasn't enough, we had to deal with car problems, too. We were driving through Ottawa on our way to Mr. Penguin to get fitted for the tuxedo I'll be wearing in the show when we noticed a strange noise coming from outside the car. It turns out I had a flat tire. Amanda was kind enough to photograph the process of me using the pathetic excuse for a jack that comes equipped in 2002 Chevy Cavaliers. In case the photos don't tell the full story, it was frustratingly breezy and my knuckles still bear the cuts and scrapes from rubbing against the concrete of the parking lot.



Removing the flat and replacing it with a "donut" ended up taking longer than the fitting, which was over within minutes of entering the store. Still, the day wasn't a total wash. Our tuxes will have tails -an all new experience for me.


Amanda has also picked up her dress for the show, but I'll let her explain that process later.
