Greetings from Chicago,IL... home to my beloved Cubs and the first stop on the tour. The first gig isn't until tomorrow but we arrived a day early for the standard handshaking, meeting and greeting that is necessary when meeting your living/working companions for the next month. So far everyone is great. Artists, crew, management... everyone seems friendly, and professional. If the tour ends on as good of a note as it began this will be a great run.
...and now for some commentary...
Hopefully most of you have been reading my blog for a while and read my rant regarding airport security last year. If not I'll catch you up in brief. Airport security and I don't get along. Evidently my pale white skin, roadie like attire, and lack of anything resembling a terrorist triggers random searches. I'm just the white guy the government needs to single out to satisfy the quota that prevents the appearance of racial profiling.
Now then...
Today, I breezed through security without issue. My cellphone, bluetooth, two digital cameras, laptop, and carry on bag all were scanned without scrutiny. My body went through the detector without beeping. I didn't have to go through the air puffer machine. I wasn't touched by an agent. Maybe my luck is changing. Let's hope, I have a flight home to contend with.
Pictures should be coming soon.
