In the Airport

Took the supershuttle to the airport today.  I was one of only 2 passengers.  The other passenger happened to be the CFO for a online start-up called saatchi online (http://www.saatchionline.com/).  It is a sort of art resale website with user submitted content.  We had an interesting conversation about street art and the art world in general. 

After a 45 min. drive we got the to the American Airlines terminal.   After checking I proceed to the security check point where they did the body scan and ran a swab test on my carry on luggage.  I am carrying a lot of computer equipment and network cables so the scan may have looked a bit weird.

I checked my terminal to make sure that my flight was on time.

I proceeded down the terminal in search of the Business class lounge.  I could not find it.  I went to the AA customer service desk and asked about this.  They said Are you first class?  I said business class and they said "Sorry, it is only for first class"  I could not believe this.  I was going to stay out with the peasants!  Sitting on the floor and with no fucking wifi!  I could not let this happen.  So I went to Chili's and ordered myself a pulled pork sandwich.

  
After eating this I checked online what the requirements to get into the "First Class Lounge" is.  According to the website they said that if you are traveling international business class you qualify.  I immediately ran to the lounge and made my presence known.  It was heavenly.

With the entrance to this exclusive club I get free wifi and 2 drinks (Including alcohol).
