Part 1 of and endless amount of rambling.
Today I feel hung over, probably just the let down of having to come back to CT. The weekend was awesome!!!!! This may be very detailed, but also random so bear with me.
I woke up at 3:30 am ( they have a 3:30 in the am now? ) and got ready for my friend Don to pick me up. We drove to the airport harmonizing to the oddest group of songs we could find on XM. John Denver was a highlight, but changing the Fleetwood Mac harmonys into Oak Ridge Boys harmonys did rule all. 4am is the best time for hitting those low notes.
The curse of Ohare!
So I had was supposed to leave CT at 7:30. Weather was brilliant, I was ready to go, but then...Ladies and Gentlemen we are getting an update from Chicago. They have some bad weather so we need to sit tight for a while. We'll have another update in about a half an hour. GGRRRRRRRRRRRR
So an hour later our half hour update arrives. We will know more in about 45 minutes. hmmmmmmmmmmm half hour chicago time but be different.
Finally the Captain comes out, he is like the Captain of Comedy
He was making all kinds of funny jokes and he had a radar pic of Chicago that he waved around saying we could look at it if we wanted. Chicago was having some sort of massive storm and they grounded all of the flights. :Smug:
Captain Comedy came back shortly thereafter and said he had a funky idea. Board the plane and we will sit there until they gave the all clear. Which we did....for 2 hours. We watched the Sentinel, good movie. Finally we got the all clear at about 12:30( remember I was supposed to leave at 7:30 ), since we were the only plane ready to go Capt. Comedy told us to buckle up and we hit the skies. The captain's tag line at the end of flight ruled. " thanks for giving us the business, we enjoyed taking you for a ride "
Chicago airport was a madhouse....A MADHOOOOOUUUSE! All the flights were fucked up because nothing moved for about 4 hours. So I had to find my connection and wait for about an hour.
I attempted to use one of the crappy phones to call the hotel and get a hold of the boys, but for some reason thier phones were all wonky. I pictured the guys sitting in the lobby sleeping on couches cursing my name.
As I arrived at the hotel I was happy to know that they let Will, Tyler and Russell check in even though the room was under my name. I get into the elevator and this guy comes in behind me. I hit 5 he says 5 also. I walk down the hall he walks behind me. I come to the room and knock on the door and he is standing right next to me. I ask " who are you? ", he replies " I'm the food guy " Apparently the boys had planned a chinese buffet while waiting for me. My timing was perfect!
