Sorry, all - Dan and I just rolled into St Louis after a long day. Will post details later. Summary: woke up in Nashville, private plane took us back to NY, went to warehouse to collect Mantide, waited 2.5 hours for it to be uncrated, then just started driving West. 14 hours total, including 1+ hour for dinner and gas stops and rush hour traffic in NJ. Arrived here at Ritz Carlton St Louis at 645 am EDT. Bed now, and doing some press in two hours. Argh. Pics of uncrating are on FB. Tweets from the road below. Full post later:
box is finally unwrapped. Almost ready to hit the road again.

Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is staring at this thing. More attention than a naked Megan Fox in a pink caddy convertible
