Heading back home

Guess what?
I'm back in O'Hare airport...Made it to my show in Traverse City, MI. Had a great time and actually won 200 bucks at blackjack. The local radio station there has been playing our new record for weeks and their listeners seem to like it. They don't get americana music up in that area. Thanks to Dano from WLDR 101.9 and thanks to Lidsey and her husband for bring me toothpaste and a toothbrush. They were listening to the morning show when I called in and was complaining about my luggage being in Traverse city and me being stuck without a toothbrush in north Chicago. That was very thoughtful.
I almost forgot, there we actually HB fans at the show!!! Ron and Sam caught a show in Austin two years ago and have been listening to HB ever since. That's a good feeling when you can fly to Northern Michigan and have people requesting songs.
Got to go... Hope my flight is not canceled again.
Thanks for all the blog comments, they brought smiles.

United Airlines Suck

I'm on my way to Traverse City, Michigan with hopes of getting to the casino a little early!! I planned on losing some cash tonight but United Airlines decided to save me some money and keep me in the O'Hare Airport for 6 hours. By the time I get to Traverse city I will have had all the Starbucks and peanut M&Ms I can handle. I think I am gonna get drunk. I always wanted to be the guy they throw of the plane and send to a hotel to sleep it off. Maybe I'll just stay in Chicago tonight and go to Joes bar on Weed Street and say hi to Ed the owner.
So I got drunk and missed my plane. United changed terminals on me and decided not to tell me. They changed the gate from f2 to b22. If you have ever been in the O'Hare airport you would know that it takes 25 mins to walk that distance and 15 mins to run. I had 12 mins to get to the right gate. I ran as fast as I could, lungs burning, heart pumping, legs shaking only to find that I missed the plane by 3 mins.
Stuck in Chicago!!! Shit. Take a cab to Northbrook and stay at the Radisson. Thank god the Hotel bar stayed open an extra hour for me!! What a day!! 8 hours in the O'Hare airport and I have to go again tomorrow. United Airlines suck.
