Some tech TV ladies got on a segway and ?fell?

[segwayowner]

i was looking through Leoville, Leo Laporte's website (the host of the screen savers and call for help) and i saw a picture of some female hosts on a segway.
"After a few too many drinks, these ladies decided to give the segway a try. Their paychecks have now been docked until the wrecked segway is paid for."
the picture (which he took with a camera phone), can be found at http://leoville.textamerica.com/?r=149428

... i wont wonder what this is about....

That quote ISN'T from Leo or anyone who knows about that photo. It's a comment posted by a reader named Tim, who doesn't work for TechTV, and in fact has only met the hosts of TechTV once at a public appearance at a shopping mall. (according to his blog)

You can post your own comments, too.

yes i was there til the very end with my seg and two that woz had dropped off earlier. it was a safe closed environment and nobody fell. the two lovely ladies were in complete control, in fact it reminded me of freddy and his family of three at segfest. i had to rein in a couple folks who were trying to test the envelope, had i not been there it would have been just the two segs and no one with any real seg experience. while not ideal its still a testament to the safety of the ht even in the chaos of a techtv shoot!

i gave the photo a "6" for spontaneity and
rhythm.

kthxbye.
