― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:16 (7 years ago) Permalink

i'm holding it down though. soon i'll be in another airport, and i'll have like 4 hours to kill!!

I'll be in two airports next week. One in Canada! Calgary! I've never been to Canada before. I'll be there for all of an hour!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

actually, three airports.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

what's your second airport?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

there's another airport thread on ILE.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

what magazine(s) should i get? what's out now? is there a new vanity fair?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

i started this thread though!

AND I'M GONNA END IT (ominous music)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (7 years ago) Permalink

I don't even know where Calgary is!

xp the new Vanity Fair is the one with Jennifer Anniston on it.

i could get TIME CANADA with kanye west on the cover ("hip hop's class act")

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (7 years ago) Permalink

oh that J-AN VF looks thick and JUICY!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:20 (7 years ago) Permalink

oh no, I wasn't suggesting that this thread isn't valid, just noting the confluence.

xp get Wired. Wired's the quintessential airport magazine.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:20 (7 years ago) Permalink

eww!! i don't think i've ever bought an issue of wired!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:21 (7 years ago) Permalink

I LIKE wired!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:21 (7 years ago) Permalink

really? is it good? i guess i've read some wired articles online... but BUYING a magazine about the internet always seems like a waste of money!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:22 (7 years ago) Permalink

it's not about the internet, it's about science! and they have one or two really good writers (and some terrible ones).

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (7 years ago) Permalink

can i buy an issue of mondo 2000 instead?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (7 years ago) Permalink

I mean, it IS kind of embarassing, but I enjoy it.

xp yes

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (7 years ago) Permalink

well i'll totally buy it if the VF isn't there. also the entertainment weekly this week looks boring!! it's like a summer wrap-up issue, fuck that, i don't wanna read past tense versions of the articles they've been writing since may!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:25 (7 years ago) Permalink

what about a foreign newspaper?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

or a good mystery?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

Toblerone?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

Remember s1ocki, it's the end of winter down there. But don't be surprised to see lots of long stockinged legs even with the winter coats.

R.U. Sirius is podcasting now

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:37 (7 years ago) Permalink

I misread the thread title as I AM AN AIRPORT, so I was hoping it would be full of things like I AM AN AIRPORT COME AND LOOK AT TEH AIRPLANES TALKING OFF FROM ME.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:44 (7 years ago) Permalink

It could well have been a lost Jonathan Richman song- the followup to "Rockin' Shopping Center" and the precursor to "I'm A Little Airplane."

slocki, how is hte shoulder? Did it survive the 1st leg of the journey?

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

Calgary = Canadian Cowboyland. (Well, a lot of cities are Canadian Cowboyland, but Calgary likes to think of itself as the capital of it. Also, ask LeCoq about how cool Calgary is.. hahahah)

― donut gon' nut (donut), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:36 (7 years ago) Permalink

the shoulder is... ok! i mean still spasming a bit but definitely definitely better than yesterday (going to bed last night w/horrible shoulder & everything else = the :(ness)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:44 (7 years ago) Permalink

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:44 (7 years ago) Permalink

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:45 (7 years ago) Permalink

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:50 (7 years ago) Permalink

haha no shit!! what's your deal tiffwise?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:56 (7 years ago) Permalink

my new job (just started last week!) is with a big radio company and we're working on doing some live recordings at you-know-where, and they have lots of 'secret shows' there during TIFF and we might record some. yee-ha! and yeah, they mentioned your posse was there and i thought "hey! i know one of those guys!" and then realized, no, i don't, i only exist on a messageboard with one of those guys! but would be cool to meet you...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:10 (7 years ago) Permalink

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:32 (7 years ago) Permalink

the weirdest airport i was in was vientiane, laos. it was an 'international airport' and all that, but holy smokes it was like super lo-fi. and when i arrived there to get my early morning flight the airport wasn't even OPEN yet, and we had to wait for some guy to let the 20 or so of us waiting in! no magazines there, that's for sure! i was lucky to get a bottle of water!

2 weeks pass...

pro'hare tips for when you have an 9hr layover but don't have the energy to leave the airport:

have swim trunks with you. you can get a day pass to the airport hilton fitness centre (between the terminals, no shuttle bus) for $15, and then spend 3 hrs swimming and in the deserted steam room and sauna. you could get your money's worth here with a 2h layover, even allowing for walking/security time.

you can get a united club pass on ebay for about $10, and then get v drunk for no extra charge except tips.

I'm in O'Hare so much these days...good tips!

love the Frontera torta outpost...the loaded guacamole is seriously the best, like I look forward to being in O'Hare now

Where is that?

― caek, Monday, 15 April 2013 11:20 (2 months ago) Permalink

I go to the one near K4 in Terminal 1 because I mostly fly American, maybe there's one near the united terminal too

― Euler, Monday, 15 April 2013 12:54 (2 months ago) Permalink

i know the one in the united terminal! never eaten there. next time.

― caek, Monday, 15 April 2013 13:15 (2 months ago) Permalink

Stuck in Kansas City. Have to somehow get to OKC tomorrow. Flight has now been delayed enough that even if I get to Dallas tonight, there's probably no way I'd be able to leave in time.

― Hockey Drunk (kingfish), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 01:44 (2 months ago) Permalink

KCI is mellow but there's nowhere to eat & you're 20 miles from the city. sucks

― Euler, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 01:48 (2 months ago) Permalink

Made it to Dallas, got stuck here. They gave me a cot.
