Family?

Posted on 23. May, 2010 by in Up in the Air

In an effort to build our rockstar lifestyle cred, Andrew and I hopped a plane to Chicago yesterday morning. We were in town for the KIN sponsored show with The Dead Weather down on W Monroe.

This was the first time I had traveled with Andrew, which was as fun as you’d expect. For instance, running through the Minnesota airport on a tight connection with someone that runs 75+ miles a week really puts on the pressure. I managed to hold back my quasi-Asthmatic deep hyperventilation sesh until I could get in the postage stamp-sized airplane bathroom. As far as I know, Andrew would still rate me as “below average” on the President’s Fitness Challenge scale.

Anywho, a funny moment occurred as we were walking toward the cab line at O’Hare Airport. Andrew remarked, “Wouldn’t be great if someone was here waiting for us?”. Without hesitation I retorted, “You mean, like a driver?”

This is what Andrew pictured.

Andrew's welcome

This is what I pictured.

Derek's welcome

Sign #27192 that life in Seat 1B may be slowly killing me.
