True Spacewaitress taxicab confessions. You should sell this to HBO. Oh SW, how we've missed thee.

Weird random point of interest...everytime the cab's computer beeps in the movie, my FireANT shuts down. It must be like the PC version of the brown note.

it wasn't nearly as hott-n-sweaty as that one with Tim Meadows and Christina Ricci.

you made me want to become a cab driver....

Might we see you at the fair this weekend?

I hope whover made this video was on the meter.

Hot! I never thought I'd see Crystal drivin' hack.

Excellent to see you in action, Spacey. And I hope you did break even, and then some, in the end :-)

Excellent story. 3 and a half minutes and I now understand how a cab and a cab driver work. Hard way to make an easy living.

thanks for all your comments.
i'm hoping Crystal herself will make an appearance. she's got this new thing called a "job" though. i'm looking into those myself.

meanwhile, today's MN Story will be up shortly.

Wow, that was excellent.

Christina Ricci... You mean Heather Graham? Or did they repeat that sketch with Christina Ricci? Tim Meadows is my hero.

I take back what I said on MNSpeak: Crystal looks completely at home behind the wheel, and I'd never want this job. I don't want to get to know the streets of Coon Rapids.

she is a really good story teller, very enjoyable, do her again

Hey all, thanks for the nice comments. Pete, I looked at your comment on MN Speak and don't worry, you're not gonna get punched. *Everyone* thought it was anomolous. That was simultaneously the most uncomfortable and one of the most fun things about it: violating people's expectations.

I really enjoyed driving the cab and would have kept it up if not for it totally destroying my social life. It's nice setting your own hours, driving around listening to the radio, getting paid in cash. It also made me feel really good when I drove someone home from the grocery store, or drove somebody to the bar (one less drunk driver on the road).

The weirdest thing that happened to me: I picked up this cute young thing at a bar and he started hitting on me, wanting to hang out. I told him no, I have to work. He kept on it and finally said, "How much money are you making? I'll pay you. I'll pay you a hundred dollars to hang out with me."

I said, "well if you paid me to hang out with you that would make me something very different from a cab driver, now wouldn't it?" Needless to say, we did not "hang out."

This was the first vlog post I ever heard (Chuck was on MPR on a show about vlogging) back in September, and I had to come and see the video. It was that show that made me start videoblogging.

Great MN Story Chuck. I felt so bad for Crystal when she was sounding like it would be so hard to break even; then again, I thought it was Crystals only job.

thanks Dan!
it was Crystal's only job at the time i think.
and she's once again in search of a job. but, don't think she'll be returning to the cab biz anytime soon.
