Salem!

Just got the final word today from Ellen Talkowski, who works with the city of Salem, that we have been given clearance to display the time machine on Halloween! This was such a relief to hear, as we've been working toward this for some time, through various channels. We are looking forward to experiencing the holiday in America's 'Halloween Town', but more importantly, applying our strategic combination of location and timing to 'raise funds and awareness' in this densely populated event. We did some reconnaissance and found our designated location to be just one block from the iconic Bewitched statue near Essex Street! Reports from All Hallows Eve will follow!

Boston Adventures

We arrive in Boston and leap into action, serving a company with our DeLorean as part of their convention center booth display. It is a pure coincidence that Halloween is just around the corner, and the event is a Funeral Directors annual trade show! Not only will a portion of the proceeds from our appearance go to Team Fox as part of our ongoing mission, but several attendees made contributions of their own. After the hard work was done, we explored Boston, visiting the Museum of Fine Art, and historic Faneuil Hall, also known as the 'cradle of liberty.'
Tuesday night we attended the American Repertory Theatre's 'Sleep No More', an extremely entertaining, challenging and mysterious 'immersion theatre' experience. Centered around Shakespere's Macbeth, blended with Hitchcock, patrons wear masks and explore highly detailed and eerie movie-style environs while performers move throughout the four story building unveiling their silent, dream-like tale. It was creative, unique, unusual, thrilling and unsettling. A rare, unexpected pleasure on this journey.

Boston

Continuing on the road to Boston, we are reminded that even time travelers must pay toll.
Again, and again.
And again.

DeLorean Mid Atlantic Event

Terry and I enjoyed a soggy, but fun time with fellow DeLorean owners over the weekend. A tour of the 'Julius Sturgis Pretzel Factory' (The world's first commercial pretzel factory) in Lititz, PA. had us rolling dough into a snake, then manipulating it into the familiar twisted shape. Terry's turned out much better. At the end of the tour, we even got a free bag of pretzels.




We slept in a caboose, listening to the soft 'clip-clop' sounds of the Amish buggies passing.

Fall 2009

The leaves are changing colors and there's no better view than through the windows of a time machine! We're heading to Lancaster for a gathering of the DeLorean Mid Atlantic group. Note: People in Baltimore like to honk when they see a time machine, more than any other city we've been through! Friendly people who really want to have an extended conversation at 70mph.
