Please Standby For Love by Blue

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to the airport. You'll know what to do.

I completed this task when I first joined SFØ.
However, I finally reached level four so I am documenting it now.
Also… Eddy did all the documentation… IE the Marvelous photos of me…
she had not yet joined SFØ


What to do....

Well here is what not to do...
Never... Ever... Ever... go to the airport at 11'oclock.

img101016469.jpgI had rented a car for the weekend to go to the flea market in Alameda. An Awesome place to be... last Saturday of the month or something like that. Do go there is something amazing that you have lived your whole life without knowing about just waiting there for you to discover it.

So I go to the airport at 11'oclock to drop of the car and get my task on.
The drop off goes fine just pull up leave the keys "thank you; goodbye" Then I bounce over to the tram to hop on the B.A.R.T. Completing this task on the way

Anywho... So I hop on the red line
to go to the B.A.R.T. It passes the B.A.R.T. and drops me off at a garage announcing that it is now out of service and to catch the B l u e line. So I get off and wait for the Blue line. So I am twiddling my thumbs when I realize...
I know what to do

I had spied this amazingly long escalator on the way in and it was just at the end of the platform. It was time for a photo-shoot.

The Red line had broken down on the tracks. So finally I got to the B.A.R.T. where I was informed by the attendant, who had a rather condescending tone, that I had just missed the last train by 6 minutes. Yeah like that was my fault. I only had to catch three trams to get there.

So it was back to the blue line
so I could get to terminal 3 where all the cabbies were.
The map that will appear here shortly will illustrate how when you are on the blue line at the airport you have to ride around the whole airport to get there. As I stepped onto the empty Tram I cursed the prompt welcoming me... Grumbling "I hear the words welcome but I do not feel welcomed."

So it was back to the car rental spot
so that I could turn around and ride around the ENTIRE airport before finally passing the B.A.R.T. station again and arriving at terminal three.

It felt like the lights were on but nobody was home
. None of the trams have drivers, everything is automated and although there are tons of cameras but it feels like there is no one watching over to make sure that everything is going along smoothly.

At this point I thought... I don't care
if I get in trouble for doing something outrageous. I don't think anyone's watching and if someone did come to reprimand me... perhaps I could get them to escort me to Terminal III in a timely manor.

There's just something oddly unnatural about airports.

You like that?

"Yeah… I learnt them in Kung Fu school…
I'm taking advanced nunchakus next semester.
It's pretty sweet…"

Nothing brings the dork out of me faster than being stranded somewhere with someone with a camera.

Oh wait I have Faux Moustaché pictures to add!!!
