Bottom Of The Barrel

Comic-Con: The misadventures of Bluntman and Chronic

Today was supposed to be our travel day/booth set-up however things got a little delayed. The flight from Providence to Newark was delayed by 30 minutes, which meant our connection was going to very tight [we originally only had a 1 hour layover]. As a just in case, the Continental representative at the gate booked us on their next flight to San Diego. When we inquired as to the reason for the delay the agent said it was those things outside at which we asked if he was referring to the clouds. Later I would comment that the Rhode Island clouds must have been made of iron and that is why we couldn't fly through them. When we asked about the connecting flight he said it was also delayed and when we got to New Jersey we would just have to "pull an OJ" to make our flight. We looked at each other with a puzzled look and Steve asked him if we had to kill a couple of people in Newark to make our flight. We laughed but I'm not sure the agent understood what he had actually said to us. After leaving 30 minutes late and circling Newark for an additional 45 minutes we missed our original connection flight.

So our 1 hour layover suddenly became the 5 hour layover. We could have spent some extra company money and flow to Minneapolis and then to San Diego arriving at 7 but we thought better not chance further delays. So can you say Brewhouse? After our long delay - and maybe some help from Jack Bauer - we were able to watch a not so great film called Drillbit Taylor [save your money and time and skip this movie] finally get to San Diego, The Hard Rock Hotel and off to a local Aussie bar to meet up with the team. What a long day!
