I started off wanting a lac/slwc combo for my out-of-town adventure but decided on just a slwc this time. I ended up going to two malls (pix 1-7; pix 8-11). After all that walking we went back to the hotel room, relaxed and drank a few beers. Unfortunately so far there were no comments about the cast. I guess a slwc is somewhat easy to overlook. But at one mall (pix 1-7) we saw a teenage guy in a black halo brace walking around with ease.
Day two we went to a music store and I browsed (with mouth open) at the guitars they had and tried a few out. Pic #12 shows me playing a Taylor guitar. The acoustic room was empty so we thought that'd be a good place to take a picture. It was a very fun adventure, being in a strange town eases some nerves. Next time I will go bigger.
Looking at a few pictures: In the second picture I thought a pic of me in front of Victoria Secret would be interesting. A note about the pic of me on the escalator, the guy with the halo was right behind ANON (taking the pic). The flash (which can't be turned off) was so obvious that we didn't think it'd be too kosher to take a pic of the guy, and also he was a bit young (14 I’d say). You can see (pic 4) how I measure up to Jar Jar Binks. Pic 5 is for Lissa (can you see the movie next to my cast?). And of course a pic of me drinking, what else? beer, after a hard day of limping. The only comment I got was from the guy that let me play a Parker guitar asked me how I broke it. I told him I stepped in a hole on the golf course. Nothing else was said.

5/19/99 
Freshly made long leg cylinder cast. I didn't want to waste supplies on a long
leg cast because the time I'd spend in it was changed to be less than I'd hoped.
I'm playing an old 12 string guitar (a Harmony Stella).

4/23/99 First day of my weekend two short leg cast adventure. One cast is plaster; one cast is fiberglass. Can you tell the difference? :) The plaster cast looks very white compared to the fiberglass.

4/4/99 Pictures of my latest fiber long leg cast. Notice the last row; the irony of me crutching, at the ATM, front of a handicap sign, and the pic of me climbing the stairs, both feet in mid-air. Thought these were cool pix.
