Well, the "to the future" comment certainly shows where the Segway comment fits in. Thanks for the clip!

Thanks guys! My nervous breakdown was worth it! Trust me when I say I've got lots of advice for anyone faced with the same situation. At least 1 trainer for each rider, at least 1 extra Seg on hand, if there are 2 Segs being used than 2 experienced people on each side of the stage. A Segway LLC expert trainer should be available via telephone. Finally, my 15 year old step-daughter, Jenna received the Seg from Justin after the show (white dress) she could have shown off on camera if she had the desire. Also, fortunately Seann doesn't know the difference between a bike and a Segway. Justin Segs over and says "I feel very supreme" She makes a coment as to whether it's dorky and Justin says "ride it...I feel like a rock star" as he oscilliates forward and back in great form.
The event could have been a disaster, I only wish I could see if and how large of a spike in sales this generates.

>>A Segway LLC expert trainer should be available via telephone. I called Carla's cell (LLC PR lady) after training the guys but only got her voice mail.
to be fair, you did talk to segway and...this was a saturday at 2pm or so, there was little or no notice.
i think segway did a great job with this.
and so did you.

Four back stage passes. These were true backstage passes. We rubbed elbows with everyone there and all of us were literally back stage. Since we were 5 my wife couldn't come back stage and was left in the audience after the performance. It took Jenna and me an hour to retrieve the Segs (Justin wanted it put in his truck) and find my Navigator (I had someone park it for me. My wife was kicked out of the theatre and was separated from us for way too long of a time. My car's cigarette lighter/cell phone charger had a dime fall into it. I needed a jump start half way down to th show, two jumps after the show and a flat bed tow home all because of a dime. One of our kids thought the ashtray was the coin tray. It was a great time for all of us who were back stage but not as enjoyable for my wife and she really did not appreciate that I posted the experience at 1:30 AM after arriving home.
Fred
Goodness, Justin should buy his own - he can certainly afford at least one, if not more! <G>
Fred, it just wasn't your night, was it, but it turned out great! Hopefully you've used up all your bad luck for the year <G>.

What I should have said was "What a night" instead of "it wasn't your night." Good heavens,---
Talent tries to take off with your Segway.
Talent manages to bump one Segway with another to the extent that you have a shut-down fault.
The keys get mixed up so that you can't get the shut-down segway restarted, and they're pushing you to get it started NOW.
Your daughter seems to be a bit focused on talent (only natural at her age), instead of the reason for being there...
Your wife ends up separated from you, and is not a happy camper.
The car dies going home several times because someone has dropped a dime in the cigarette lighter, and ends up having to be towed.
AND in amongst all this, you had a VERY GOOD time. And the VERY GOOD TIME, made it your night.
