After picking up the guys at the airport yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I absolutely love. airports. It’s one of the few places that you can see people from all walks of life. That makes it sound like their species or something. Other people hate it I’m sure, but you know even though it might be as germ-infested as a DMV, it is still a much better environment to be in. I was telling Patrick this in the car that I loved airports so much because I’ve always been able to just converse with people there easily. He told me I didn’t fly enough. Yesterday, I met an older fellow that was there to pick up his fiance’s daughter and I explained to him the story behind my sign and who I was picking up. After that, it was two limo drivers who taught me how to stand around and wait for arrivals and the correct angle for me to be holding a sign at. Then they sassed me when I had my doubts.
“Are you sure I’m supposed to be standing in front of the escalators? How do you know that this Alaska’s flight comes up from this direction and not over there?”
“You’re really asking us this? How many times do you think we’ve done this?”
There may have been some other conversations about picking celebrities up and me getting set up with one of the limo driver’s nephews – a new Cal Poly freshman. It’s cool – limo driver speak – you know I’m all about that now.
Anyways – Mat Kearney did an in flight concert recently. This has probably gotta be one of the coolest stories they will ever tell their grandchildren, right?
