Airstream Maintenance and Studio Setup Challenges in Fayetteville
Adam Curry describes traveling from Austin to Fayetteville, Arkansas, for a "Mom's Weekend" trip that was complicated by forgetting his primary studio equipment bag. After realizing the mistake south of Dallas, he purchased replacement audio interfaces and stands at a local Guitar Center to ensure the broadcast could proceed. The journey concluded in 25-degree weather at an RV park where mechanical issues with the Airstream immediately surfaced.

00:00 Mandela effect, mandela effect. No it's mandela effect. Adam Curry John C Devorah and Sunday February 26 2017 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 907 This is no agenda Fixing pipes and programs without a checklist and broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet from the air stream of consciousness in Fayette now, Arkansas in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's sunny and dry. I'm John C DeVore Sunny and dry and about what is it? Now? It's about 40 degrees here in the air stream of consciousness
00:43 It's cold. Well, it's very cold here in Vietnam so yeah Yeah, they went down to 25 last night is insane and I don't know what's worse? I don't know which is worse Is it worse to be in the air stream of consciousness when it's a hundred degrees outside and no air conditioning Or is it worst to be here doing this show when its 40 and 40 degrees are no heating well you won't have to worry about sweating onto the gear Yeah, I think I'd rather have heat though I have to turn it off because the the blower just makes too much noise ruins the whole vibe Yeah, you know say this but I can never hear it cuz it's not on what turned a blower. I want to hear it No, I'm not gonna turn it on and I have to go to the other side Matt. No just trust me It doesn't sound good But it's been quite a challenging couple of our what couple of days 24 hours whatever it was getting up here This was we've talked about this before about checklists
01:46 Yes, yeah and did I did I make a checklist? Well. I'm guessing no you know brought the topic up Of course not so Friday morning we We hop in the truck, we're on the way up to Fayetteville Arkansas. Mom's weekend Tina the Keeper's daughter goes to school here so you know perfect opportunity to take the Airstream out a little nice little road trip see my buddy dude named Ben up here and just chill out maybe do a little bit of ham radio stuff I don't know see what's going on So as were driving
02:23 And we left Austin 78 degrees on Friday morning, driving up. You see this go, oh well it's now 68 degrees and we're not even in Dallas. In about 30 minutes south of Dallas we stopped for a little gas and I'm like, Oh crap! you're not going to believe it but I left pretty much the studio bag at home So everything... That's a good one. In other words, you left without a checklist? You forgot the whole thing! Well I have a checklist for the bag you see so everything i needed was in the bag but I left the bag and I remember walking like this feels wrong something wrong what's wrong and can't quite put my finger on it but I'm carrying stuff to the car oh no something wrong
03:11 This of course is a problem. I'm not going to drive back three and half hours, so we find the guitar center and i was able to pick up pretty much everything I needed. I had the microphone with me, I had the laptops with me... So that's all cool but just needed the audio interface and a mic stand because of course the mic stand-I have the mic stand with me but not the clamp that attaches to the table because that belongs as per the checklist in the studio bag So, okay. Small crisis averted we continue It's a long drive from Austin to Vietnam it's about eight hours if you didn't stop so we did about nine hours nine and half hours And we get in 9 o'clock and of course it's one of its actually have pretty nice RV park up here That is right on the golf course interestingly enough
