Here's where we answer a series of questions sent in by viewers. We've made up some of our own, too (indicated by asterick).

Q: Who controls the radio? The driver or the passengers?
A: Whoever gets to it first, literally.

Q: What is the “song” that best defines the trip?
A: “Hotel, motel...” Sorry, went old school for a sec. Peter Bjorn and John definitely goes to the top of the list. (Thanks, Sony!) While we listen to anything from Boys Like Girls to Metallica and T.I., we tend to define the song of the tour by which ones we’re most sick of. Any Kelly Clarkson for example. Show tunes and country music are problematic for some.

Q: Are you still speaking with your colleagues by Friday?
A: Yes. We make Bill shower every day so everything’s still cool.

Q: Do you sleep in the van?
A: Ryan does. We’ll leave it at that. (Ok, he takes naps in it, happy?)

Q: Are you sick of Super 8 yet?*
A: Hmmm. Next question.

Q: Does Ryan have enough shirts for the tour?*
A: We think so, depending. Still, if you want to donate a funky T for a mention, IM us @ plaidnation.

Q: Any luck so far getting business out of the visits you’ve made?
A: Yes! We could stop the tour now and it will have been worthwhile.

Q: WHY CAN’T YOU KEEP THE CAMERA STILL?*
A: We could, but then you what would you COMPLAIN ABOUT? This whole trip is one giant social media wireless experiment. Some things will be changed should we do this again, camera management being one of them.

Q: How much does it cost to fill the beast?*
A: $75 a tank.

Q: Aren’t you concerned about traveling green for this tour?*
A: Yes. We need lots of green to pay for our meals.

Q: Speaking of meals, say, what does everyone eat on tour, McDonald’s and stuff?
A: No. Actually, we try and sample a lot of local cuisine at various places like mom and pop joints, diners and other restaurants. And a few too many chain places like Applebees.

Q: What’s your absolute must-have item?*
A: Caffeine in any form.

Q: What’s the one thing you could do without?*
A: Hands down, bumpy roads while blogging and IMing.
