Default Hometown on TV

Kinda. Yesterday while watching Fear Factor, it all made sense. Let me explain. On a Saturday afternoon in early October, my buddy and I went down to Ventura Raceway to get together with the rest of our team for that night's Sprint car races. As we approached the fairgrounds, where the racetrack is, we noticed a large, orange Monster.com blimp flying around over an area known as Surfers Point, that was being followed by a helicopter. The day before there had been an article in the local paper about how blimps could no longer fly within a certain distance of sporting events, due to the air traffic regulations imposed after September 11, and that any that did would be escorted out of the area by the Search and Rescue helicopters. Since there was a surfing event going that day, we presumed that what we were seeing was a blimp being removed from the area, just like the story in the paper said they would be. Well, last night I happened to be watching Fear Factor, when I saw a familiar blimp. It was the orange Monster.com blimp. I instantly recognized the surroundings below, as seen from the helicopter, as the town in which I live; Ventura, California. I'm not sure how it was that they were able to violate the air space over the surfing contest the way they did, but I presume that money had something to do with it. Anyway, it was fun to see Ventura from the air like that, and I just wanted to share.

Take care,
-Chris
