Aunt Tee Tee will use her new consumer high-definition camcorder to record the raw video footage, which we will edit and upload on Ghetto Science Tube. This is 'Wino on a Public Transit Train Video Blog!'
"Tape is rolling and camera recording, Tipsy. Do your thing!"
Tipsy Lee: "Before I give my opinion to the people in television land, I'd like to conduct a libation ceremony onto this empty seat. Aunt Tee Tee, get a good medium close-up shot of me pouring my 'Boone's Farm Thunda Burd Apple' wine on the seat.
