I got a little over three hours of sleep after packing, repacking and making sure that I brought everything with me and woke up at 3:45 this morning to make my 5:55am flight to Atlanta. It was definitely tough to leave my family after such a short time but I had a great time with family and friends in my brief week in St. Louis - the Birds played well for us and it was great catching up with everyone I could.
I've never seen this many people in the airport this early - the Delta parking lot was full and the lines inside were even worse. Thank God for e-check in otherwise I would've definitely been typing this from St. Louis. My 35 Liter (why do they measure it in liters) carry on hiking backpack successfully made it through security and onto two planes as "carry on". Simon 2, Airport Gestapo 0. I've been decked out in VG attire all day since I'm too afraid to open my luggage and unpack the delicate job within and we have a gig tonight. Then on to our banquet and more VG festivities. Congrats to our newly initiated VG brethren from last night - John Anderson, River Bennet and John Dreyzehner. Mother VG must've favored the front of the alphabet with this crop.
Excited to be back at Mr. Jefferson's University. Our flight into Cville flew right over UVA and I spotted the football stadium (duh), the Lawn and, most importantly, the Lambeth Amphitheater and my old apartment. I don't think we've ever flown in that way; it was a really unique view.
