The Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City Radio Tour was a whirlwind. Big up to the Hot Boyz on Power 92 in Chicago and Chuy Gomez on KMEL in San Francisco as some standouts. All the stations were amazing. Couzin Ed was on a tour as well. Between us, we hit a bunch of stations in the US and UK - chilling with some radio shows and letting them get their hands on the game . Ed and I both directed talent for the game - and it was great working with the brilliant creative team at Rockstar North and New York to make the game happen. Response has been amazing. People love it.

Highlights from the tour include

- hanging out of a sunroof loaded in Boston
- shooting a PS-90 at a gun range in Vegas
- standing on the street in London drinking with soccer hooligans after an interview with the BBC
- Driving across Texas due to a canceled flight and visiting a truck stop with THE LARGEST BEEF/ELK/BUFFALO/ENDANGERED SPECIES JERKY DISPLAY IN THE WORLD

I'm glad to be home to blankly stare at a pile of laundry and a pile of receipts with titles like "Machine Gun Rental" and "Airport Bar" and try to piece together the last few weeks. Airport food is awesome. I had it daily, as we flew to a different city every day. And once you go through airport security every day for 3 weeks it becomes comical. They've somehow simultaniously recruited kids from the ghetto and retirees to do security. The geriatrics hold up the xbox and look at it like it's a nuke. The steet kids in ill-fitting Homeland Security outfits want cheat codes for GTA. It's hysterical.

Hope you dig Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City - on disc for XBOX.
