GREETINGS FROM IDLEWILD AIRPORT!

Howdy folks! Just got into gate 22 at terminal 8 at JFK airport in New York. I've got about an hour to wait to board and I managed to sneak online via someones crucially placed router. It's supposed to be a pay zone, but someone's office must be nearby or something.

Anyway, so the first leg of the flight went by smooth as hell. I was dead tired and managed to sleep for about an hour. The only bump came when I wanted to shoot the take off through the window with my minicam only to discover that it wasn't getting any power. I know what's wrong with it and I could fix it in minutes if I only had my Swiss Army knife or even my jeweler's screwdriver, but both would have been confiscated by security before I got on the plane. So, thanks to overzealous security rules that assume a terrorist would use a jewelers screwdriver to hold a plane hostage, I have to wait until I get to London to fix my camera. Of course, I might even have to wait until Edinburgh, which would suuuuck!

In general, though--all is well. I'll post again from London. :)

  1. Hey Pete, I hope your having an awesome trip. I found a VERY interesting little video that I think you would be interested in....it raises some serious questions that the general public are just blind to.
