travel tip 394: always wear sandals to the airport. quicker to get through security, with the added bonus of eliminating shoeshine threats. note: avoid hungry escalators.

in theory, I should like the metrolink. unfortunately, waiting fifteen minutes at an empty stop is always a little too weird for my taste.

putting the last few things in my suitcase for the weekend. space is a little tighter than usual because i’ll be carrying an enormous poster tube with me through security and onto the plane tomorrow. hopefully there won’t be any problems!

for the next time i do this, two things i almost forgot: dress shoes and a handful of powerbars.
