Preping the eaters for camera time. |
If I remember correctly, the contest was supposed to last for six minutes. It seemed like an hour. The guy in the blue shirt won after eating 11 hot dogs in buns. |
Meanwhile, Jane and I got busy measuring the aluminum foil.
|
We divided the foil up into rough geometric shapes and calculated their areas separately.
|
 There
was a margin for error.
There were places where the foil had overlapped, and many of the edges were crinkled, making precise measurements difficult and unreliable. Undeterred, we did arrive at a total: Dave Grohl has a surface area of 2,361 square inches, or 16.4 square feet. Now you know how much fabric to buy if you ever need to sew him a jumpsuit! |
Moments after the hot dog eating contest had finished, MTV2 personality Jim Shearer and I announced the aluminum foil surface area results on the air. The fun moved inside just moments before rain began sprinkling. |
Jane and I were finished for a while, at least, and went back downstairs to hang out in the studio.
|
Everyone was getting ready for the next big event. Three couples were to be married by Dave Grohl. One of the brides, Jenny, was wearing tall blue wings, of which I was unable to get a good photo. Check the MTV2 website for more photos if you are interested. The wall to the right was filled with hundreds of celebrity photo-booth strips. |
Heather and friend prepare for the wedding. |
Dan and Scott. Do you know how rare a picture of two grooms is? Extremely rare. |
Jane and I knew it would be a few hours before the acoustic set started, so we walked back to the hotel to try to get some sleep. Despite being very sleep-deprived, I lay in bed, awake. My body wanted sleep, but my mind was saying "Rob! Get back to the studio! Some fun and incredible celebrity/rock'nroll moments are just around the corner!" After about an hour, I gave up and walked back to the studio. Please continue reading page 4 of the foo fighters story. |
