Anyway we arrive at the departure airport to check in an hour before departure time. This is a domestic flight not an international and it is out of a domestic only airport with 6 gates of which only two are ever used at any single time. Anyway
We are told you won’t be leaving on that flight we over sold it and there was a cancelled flight from yesterday so those seats were given to those passengers. WTF?
No kidding these are the words out of the persons mouth. Again, WTF? There are tons of problems with this customer service persons statement alone. Then he adds after we complaint legitimately and respectfully, Well if you don’t like it you can always go to another airport.
The hell you say, Not wanting to get arrested I said thank your for that sir your sarcasm isn’t appreciated
To which he replies Neither is yours
He really did say those words after his company made the error of over selling a flight and bumping passengers well in advance of departure. I’m sorry you cancelled a flight the day before. You compensate those people fairly but you don’t phuck more over in the process.
Then to be done with the discussion he just walks off into the back without saying anything behind those airport doors that you can’t follow him through
Anyway he comes back out well after there is nothing to do about getting on the plane that we were supposed to be on
Long story short we make it to LA on different flights Doodle on one and stunt boy and I on another. Arriving several hours apart from one another which makes it all the more fun for those on the other end meeting us no instead of going to LAX once that day they get to go twice.
If you’ve been to LA you know the horror that is in and out of LAX if you don’t know LAX then there really aren’t words for it except that imagine every car and van and taxi you have ever seen in your life all in the same place all trying to get to the same loading/ unloading zone at the same time. And that is just the outside of LAX
So we make it to the Hotel
Yay. So what was to be a day of hanging out in LA was a day hanging out in airports.
Next day is a bit of touristy stuff. Stunt boy went with the other one and his family to the Santa Monica Pier and I stayed behind to help move stuff to the temple for the Bat Mitzvah after celebration. Which was fun I jumped of the pier the last time I was in LA no need to the return to the scene of the crime.
Then we had dinner at our cousin’s home
Then the next day was the Bat Mitzvah which was very cool and I enjoyed being there.
Now my cousin is in the business of entertainment business in LA. He has been in several TV shows and a couple of movies. Nothing huge but still better than most and his wife is also in the business behind the cameras.
There were several people who are in bigger things who were at the Bat Mitzvah and are friend of my cousin and his family.
I didn’t point and tried not to be obvious that I knew people and took a few photos with my phone.
The guy in the playstation commercials was there and he spoke with me, So how do you know (my cousin’s name)
I say oh he is my cousin
He says oh ok have a good time and then he mingled around some more.
I was all calm on the out side but on the inside I was like OMG you are the guy from the PS3 commercials and stuff.
Then there were other people there too. I was able to maintain and not offend anyone and I didn’t even ask for any autographs. I learned my lesson from when the other one and I met Ryan Reynolds and loudly blurted out “you are that product testing guy” about his character Berg on Two Guys and a Girl.
The celebration went well, singing and dancing and merriment.
The next day was brunch at the cousins and then we went to Venice Beach for the day to do the touristy thing
Then later I, stuntboy, my cousin’s daughter and my cousin who is in the navy went to Burbank to pick up food and to cone at a McDonalds
Then it was more family hanging out and catching up and talking about stuff.
The next day it was back to Virginia all in all it was a good trip and everyone had a good time. Without too much family drama, you can’t have a family gathering without some drama though but I’m not getting into this one.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
