On The Road Again

Well, as the title indicates, I'm on the road again. Currently sitting in the airport in Ft. Meyers, getting ready to head back to the good old Steel City. While starting this trip, I realized a few things I've either forgot or simply over looked.

Why are there coffee and food shops right before you get into the security checkpoint? Everyone knows that there are tons of shops with the same things after security, and you can enjoy them while sitting at the gate. Well, I was that idiot this morning who bought a cup of coffee, then when checking out of the newsstand, I realized that hmmmm, I was holding an open, unsealed liquid. Enter Homer Simpson-like "D'oh!" with head smack.

Also, why would you not take everything (including your cell phones) out of your pockets when going through security. It's 2011 people! It's not like security hasn't been this way for the past decade or anything. And for those who haven't traveled in that period of time? Plan a trip and expand your world a little. Travel isn't rocket science, just pack your bag/s, make sure you don't bring on your extra-large hair gel in your carry-on, and if you won't need it on the flight, pack it in the bag you're checking.

Just be conscious of other travelers and make sure you have some idea of what you're doing in an airport.

Snow, Sun, and a Reality Check

So it's been snowing the past few days, which I'm majorly pumped for. I love snowboarding and Skiing so this is definitely a great time for me. I'll be hitting the slopes of 7 springs this coming weekend during the day, and I'll be DJing both nights this weekend.

And now for the sun: This past summer I was lucky enough to be involved with PghRX's Rehab on the Rooftop, which was a sick way to spend a sunday in the warm summer months. I brought my video camera and finally took some time to put a little sample together. Big shout out to all the DJ's that participated, and Digital Dave and Nugget for getting us all involved. Also, PghRX for putting it all together and Clique Vodka for coming through in a big way.

Let me know what you guys think about the video! Trying to improve wherever I can!

And on a more serious note, a good friend of mine Brandon "DJ Bonics" just got out of the hospital today, and I know I speak for our community of friends when I say Thank you, Lord. You can read more about it on Bonics' Blog Here. Thoughts an Prayers go out to him, and hopefully his story can help to inspire others.

Steelers vs Ravens tonight, it should be one heck of a game... But I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing what Harrison's Tab will be at the end of the night!

Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!
