Innaugural Launch blow-by-blow
December 14th, 2007 by Katharine Memole

We’re scheduled for an 8am EST launch.

We had a few minutes of live blimp feed on Justin.tv from Trevor, Elijah and Daniel before they lost their signal.

The receptionist at the blimp hangar told me that the pilots went out to the blimp several minutes ago and everything seems good to go.

8:26AM EST– I have yet to receive confirmation of liftoff. Once the blimp is launched it will start its journey to Charlotte, NC where it will stay tonight.

8:58AM EST — I think the guys may be encountering overall bad signals that are making it hard for them to be in contact with us. I will update ASAP.

9:01AM EST–Blimp took off for its flyover of Raleigh 2 minutes ago.

Is Ron Paul on BOTH sides of the blimp, or just one?

Someone obviously didnt do their planning with the sign making company. Dissapointing.

Since only 1/2 of the blimp has a banner, do we only pay half the amount for flying it around?

I have to agree, the blimp is an advertising venture. If someone bought a double-sided billboard and only one side was pasted up, I can assure you the person buying the advertisments would be entitled to at least a partial refund.

I don't want a refund. I want the blimp to be done right.

I understand there have been setbacks, some out of the control of the blimp team, but launching with one banner despite the fact that 80% of the grassroots wanted the blimp team to wait to have both banners on before launching is going to hit the blimp team where it hurts, that is, when they need extra donations.

Justin.tv is the worst invention in the history of the internet
