I wonder if Tank will get any significant burn this time or if Cliff wants to see if Zeller, Hawes and Lin can reproduce that chemistry on the second unit.

the only question on everyone's mind - which hairstyle is lin pulling out for this one?

Clifford was kicking the tires with Frank in the first unit. Not a fan of playing hawes and kaminsky together so for now it appears all or very little for Frank. Al really complicates how guys can be used.

For real, 8 AM? May be able to catch a little bit of the second half, but it's not that likely.

There's also the comb-over version that he used for the filming of the promo in ShenZhen. Though that was with the help of a professional hair and makeup department that came with the director.

who's the guy in yellow? Looks like he's either going surfing or getting ready to do some mma grappling.

I think that's the action director they hired to film the promo.

The one in the yellow and black outfit in the comb-over pics. Not the blonde girl in blue anime wig pic.

Their hotel is on the same side of the river as their venues, so traffic will be bad, but not the absolute worst. Their hotel is somewhere right in the middle of all this hi-concept architecture. They'll be looking across the river to from where I took this pic standing in the touristy older historic Bund waterfront. I'll bet they'll go up the needle for the view, and there's a very high-end glitzy mall on their side for some shopping and some really good restaurants. I don't know how they do it, but all these buildings have moving light shows on them at night. Really dynamic and pretty. Hey and how about that air pollution. It's true it was slightly overcast too that day, but still it was mid-afternoon. You can see a little sliver of sun on the tallest building on the right. Looks like what we had to endure here in LA decades ago. Hope it'll be reasonably clear for them. My eyes stung after a few hours taking in the sights.

I have no idea what pic or comments she's replying to (and I'm not about to dive through the hundreds of posts on that thread that appeared since the last time I checked it, nor am I likely to find a needle in the haystack of that gamethread with 1711 comments and growing). But I saw her comment since I sort by newest to get a sampling of what's current, and it just got posted, and I thought it gave an interesting perspective on where the team is staying right now.

I just found this on linshrine.net

I quit my job as a doctor and got a job over the summer working at the hotel where I heard the Hornets would be staying, for the sole purpose of seeing Lin up close when the Hornets came to Shanghai. I am part of the cleaning staff. As luck has it, I was assigned to the crew on the Hornet's floor where they are staying. After they left for practice, I immediately went to Lin's room and smelled all of his socks. Just as I figured, his sweat smells like flowers. Then I took pictures of the bed where he slept. Before I left, I stole some waded up tissues from his trash can. They were bloody due to the nose bleed he suffered in the first game. I was crying with joy. All my hard work had finally paid off. My boss found out and I was immediately fired, but it was so worth it. I'll post pics of the bloody tissues and messy bed as soon as I get my camera back from the police.

I might have made that up, maybe.
