Johannesburg

1st day in Johanessburg.

Jed picked us up at the airport, then we went to enjoy a great steak dinner just outside our hotel.

Darby, Nic & I were up till 3am and slept till noon. We got a ride from Karel (more on him later) to the IBC (int'l broadcast center) where jed showed us the control room and the set. An early night tonight hopefully!

We're off to see the Lion Whisperer tomorrow (see link in earlier post below).

The ESPN Control Room (building 8) :

Nic gets some one on one with Daddio... it's been a long month away!

Rooms and rooms of monitors... audio suites, edit suites, production suites, you name it!

42 steps up to ESPN's set in the sky

Mike Tirico lent us his desk (and took the photo)... thanks!
Hard to see, but Soccer City is in the background between Jed & I.
(credit to Dawn ... Jed loves his vest! Thank You!!)


Chris Fowler, waiting for his next on-camera... and watching Nic run around in circles ... she faded fast. He stayed on to work another 10 hours.
