Departure from Frankfurt

I am about to call a cab and head for the airport. If all goes well I shall be in Detroit by tonight. When I was writing down all the addresses I may need, I found out that I am being used as [advertisement for the Roast](http://www.comedycastle.com/corey-joel.htm) on the website of Mike Ridley’s Comedy Castle. Which is entirely cool with me, but I must say I found it very amusing.

I’ll see you all on the other side.

Detroit 2007 – Itinerary

It’s 2007 and I am about to embark on the first travel of the year. I am going to go to Detroit for the [2nd anniversarry live show](http://www.coreyandjoelradio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249) of the [Corey and Joel Radio Show](http://www.coreyandjoelradio.com/). Unlike [last year](/category/travelogue/detroit-2006/) I won’t fly there on a 48 hour tour de force. Instead I am staying for several days. I am not getting any younger.

My current travel plan is as follows:

* Sunday, March 11th: Flight to Detroit, arrival 5pm local
* Monday, March 12th: Whatever
* Tuesday, March 13th: Sit in on regular show
* Wednesday, March 14th: [The](http://www.coreyandjoelradio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=249) [Roast](http://www.comedycastle.com/corey-joel.htm)
* Thursday, March 15th: Tag along to [The Funhouse with Upchuck The Clown](http://wfuckoffradio.com/wfko.php/shows/10) and sit quietly in some corner while Upchuck has his way with Andrea The Intern and stoned Juggalos.
* Friday, March 16th: Return flight to Frankfurt
* Saturday, March 17th: Arrival at home

I will blog from the road whenever I get the opportunity for it. Unfortunately my hotel won’t have Internet access.

War Brewing

The US airbase here in Frankfurt is full of Galaxy transport planes. Combined with the news a few weeks ago that the US Navy was renting commercial container ships, I fear that the war against Iraq has already been decided upon.

Meanwhile, Tony Blair prepares the world to the coming war by detailing evidence of the Iraqi program to develop weapons of mass destruction. I just wonder whether the US and UK will get the UN resolution they seek, or if they will just go ahead and attack Iraq anyway.

As an aside: Whatever happened to declarations of war? Those seem to be really out of fashion these days.
