Yeah sorry for the delay, I’m actually enjoying this tour

This tour is turning out to be pretty cool actually. Don’t get me wrong, I’m working like a trooper, but getting a lot of laughs in between.

Audio Tech News on tour

And so it is, and has come to pass, as it has been before, and will come to pass again, that Audiotechnews is off on tour. Bitchin’ schedules mean I only get to use free WiFi for around HALF of the 24 hours that calendar days give us, so don’t expect miracles.

Review: Blaupunkt Lucca 3.5 Satellite Navigation System

Audiotechnews spent the majority of last weekend up north, where the weather was grim, the tech specs that we sent ahead had obviously been ignored completely and the competence of all staff at one of the venues quite clearly left at the door.
