Things sure have changed since the last time i was on in an airport. I was on one post-9/11 but still. Airports are a strange beast however. eTickets rule. They make checking in so much better. I don’t enjoy tipping the guy who literally takes my bag and puts it on the conveyor belt, but other than that, it’s not bad. Notebooks in one bin, shoes and jackets off. I mean, it’s harsh, but it’s safe. I enjoyed the angry banter between the one security check-in guy and the security-women all whilst the security manager looked on laughing to herself.

One would think with all the business people in airports, that they would at least have free wifi, but NOOOOOOO, bastards charge ya. I ain’t paying, that’s for sure. So far, the flight’s been pretty smooth and I’m watching Texas Is The Reason play a CBGB’s show from August 22, 1996. The Promise Ring opened, but that file isn’t working, but that’s OK. It’s either this or I Love Lucy and i really dont love her, so that’s out.

I discovered some more podcasts last night, including Issue Oriented, which is one of Ronen Kauffman other projects. I did discover that he is writing a book about the scene in New Jersey, especially New Brunswick.

Some scray ass people on the plane, that’s for sure. This one next to me has leg problems or something, but she doesnt want to sit on the aisle. The flight is pretty empty and judging my the land below, we are probably in Virginia or something now. There was also a man in sweatpants and a beer league shirt. i said whats up to him and let him know i was a fan also. Spearmint Rhino baby!

I wish the plane had wifi also, that would awesome.

Time to watch more TITR and then listen to and watch more podcasts.
