I have plane tickets for MediaWest, or at least electronic proof of same.

I hate buying plane tickets. It's not satisfying in the way a retail purchase ought to be. You fork over $200 or $300 and you get an envelope full of incomprehensible tissue and staples. For that much, they should at least give you...I dunno, a meaningless promo CD or something.

Or better than that, FEED YOU ON THE FREAKIN' PLANE!

Can't wait for the fun of post-9/11 Detroit Metro.

Since I have a longer flight, they do feed me on the plane. I'd rather have the meaningless promo cd.

"Can't wait for the fun of post-9/11 Detroit Metro."

Especially since it was already pretty fucked to begin with. (Note to self: Resist TOTALLY the temptation to play with thier minds at Detroit Metro. Jail is not fun.)

Food on a plane

I guess it depends on the airline you're flying. United seems to have gone the lunch box route, even on a "dinner" flight-- but all in all it's quite palatable compared to what they were serving prior to 9/11. (But this is for like a 4 hour flight, too-- I don't know what they're doing for shorter ones!) And of course if you're doing Southwest, well, make sure you don't bring any utinsils on board when you bring your lunch bag!

Also, should I offer condolences for you going to MediaWest? That con is really an automatic rainy day, as far as I'm concerned. (Despite the overall niceness of U.N.C.L.E. fandom.....)

No. You shouldn't.

Oh. Okay! It's cool that you can still groove on the con! You go, girl! 8)

Three hours in line. Three freakin' hours. Live in fear of the place.

You mean...even more fear?
