Tampa is for poor people
Well - I'm in New York so that is good. But I'm still at JFK and that's not quite as good at all. In fact, it's sorta lame. My bag was sent to Tampa Florida instead of JFK. Now, I don't have anything against the folks in Tampa - I'm sure you're all quite lovely (in your own way). But please don't snag my awesome CA stuff because I need it to properly throw down here in the big city.
So yeah, bag didn't show up. I gotta tell you, they put the bottom rung of Delta employees at the baggage station. Just finding the darn thing was a trick. No one seemed to know where I was supposed to go when the bag didn't show up. Once I got there it took three young women a handful of minutes (15 or so?) to figure out where my bag was and then to figure out where Tampa is (I'm not joking). They were very kind but about as smart as a box of tampons. The one gal did give me 500 miles on my Delta account that I didn't ask for so that was nice. They offered to deliver the bag to me but as I don't have anywhere I need to be right away I decided to hang here in terminal 4 and use
funbearsd's T-Mobile account to get my netz on. Bummer is that I haven't really slept much so I'm feeling very Lost in Translation at the moment.
Anyhow, thank goodness for laptops, iPods, and cell phones (and even books). I've got plenty to distract me. I might even go do some foot tapping...
Oh - I was on one of the Song jets that Delta uses and they had the nice touch screen dealies to play with. I watched Knocked Up (fucking LOVED it!) and then played with the music options. Not a bad selection at all (Amy Winehouse, Feist, The Killers, MIKA, etc) and you could even make your own play lists. Was nice not to have to use my iPod and laptop juice for entertainment.
Anyhow - I promise to post or Flickr things that actually have to do with my trip once it gets started for real real. Tonight I'm off to see Spring Awakening with my buddy Drew and we'll meet up with Jeff and hopefully Kevin for drinks and/or dinner after. Woo Hoo!
Random ideas that came to me while begging for sleep during the flight: 3 different t-shirt ideas that I think are awesome (
pinner123 we need to talk). Using the Kingfuraday brand name to create a Bear411 killer. Anyone know how to build websites? I've got a shit load of ideas. How much I want to go to SF, ATL, Dallas, P.Town, Pensacola, and Paris next year and how sad it is that there's no way I can do it all. Listening to In Rainbows and loving it all the more for allowing my mind to wander freely through inspirations.
Forgive this post for being full of The Lame but I'm pretty damn bleary at the moment and should probably get some food...
