My Porn Star Name is 'Lady Union' -- I Win

I'm in Chicago tonight, although I'll be home tomorrow. One of hte most interesting things today was actually on my flight itself. I got on the plane and sat down, and I felt like I had an amazing amount of room. My knees weren't touching the back of the seat. I felt like the seat was overall larger than usual (though I think that was an illusion). It felt downright *luxurious* it felt just to fly with unexpected legroom. It was most striking to me that I was packed on this 100% full flight with more than a hundred other strangers six across, and I was feeling delight with my sheer amount of personal space. Now, I am not a large person, so it also made me think about how it must feel to fly for people of a more substantial stature than myself. I can't imagine how miserable those little tiny seats must be.

I did realize shortly after boarding that I'd been booked into the Economy Plus section, and that explained the extra legroom. It's just crazy to have the Economy Plus option and not take it. I don't know what it cost for this flight, but I think it's usually about 25 bucks and so worth it.

When they came around with the drink cart, I asked for cranberry juice, and they handed me an entire full-sized can. All for me. Once again, I was struck by how much I appreciated that one can of juice, since most flights I've been on in recent times either give you a tiny can or else just pour you out a cup of juice and continue on down the line with the rest of the can.

We had a workshop all day, went for tapas (first time I'd done tapas... both yummy and entertaining), and finished up in the hotel bar with some of the most interesting round I've ever done of generating our porn star names, soap opera names (we also kept going into defining our soap opera characters), and moving into generating our alien names, paint chip colors, rock band names, and Internet cam names. I promise you that it was a lot more fun that it might sound like... hilarity did ensue.
