Anthrocon and Airlines.
16 years ago
*flips off American Airlines 6 times*
As nice as the bed in the hotel they put me in while I was stuck in Washington was, I would rather have been at Anthrocon that Friday. (Admittedly, seeing more of the country was quite nice in it's own way, although I didn't expect New York to scare me at 3000 feet). My flight that should've only had 2 connections and had me arrive on Thrusday turned into a flight with about 5 connections. Mind you I wasn't the only one affected by the airline hiccups that Thursday and I'm definitely not the worst off. Still kind of annoyed by it though.
Because of the missed day I did end up with take home commissions. I'm taking a few days breather, then getting my comic done for this weekend and then I'll double check who I still owe art to (those whom I haven't heard from this month, um, please try to?)...
Eitherway I'm going to try and get commissions out of the way sooner than later (this time....)
Anyway, I DID finally get to the convention and it was good seeing those of you who came up to say hello (thanks!), and overall I had fun.
I may expand on that later (Missmab's Paranoia game is definitely a highlight), but right now the bed very much beckons me to it's sweet lumpy back ache inducing embrace, and I'm too tired to resists, so, off I go.
(Incidentally my flight back home was flawless... wish I'd gotten the name of the fur behind me who loaned me some comics to read though... and that I hadn't rushed off because I really needed to use the facilities when I landed. @.@)

FA+

Would've attended if I could've, but my ride wanted to leave, so...
Anyway, look forward to seeing you next year. :)
That said, United Airlines hasn't impressed me either. In fact, the best airline experiences in US airspace have been flying *non-US airlines* on the way to either London Heathrow, Amsterdam or Auckland! I mean, the amenities pack that United used to hand out to "Business" Class passengers from Auckland to LA was the same sort that QANTAS and Air New Zealand handed out to ECONOMY-Class...!
This sounded twisted and weird trip.
but all ends well
pie to you, AC was a blast =D
*kicks Delta in the nads..... HARD*
