Since we were on the go all day today, I haven't checked my email since last night. Gasp! The horror! Luckily, Denver International Airport has free WiFi access and I have been able to get a quick internet fix. Also, that means I can update on our progress so far.
Our initial flight on Continental was cancelled and we were put on Frontier Airlines instead. I was happy to not have to hang out in the airport on standby, but the change also meant that we had to leave the secure area, pick up our four suitcases (averaging 49.5 pounds each) and walk to an entirely different terminal to re-check everything.
I took a photo of my ridiculous flying outfit while waiting at baggage claim #1 (flip flops with socks to prevent getting "corrodes" on my bare feet through security). I like to accessorize my sexy travel outfit with a giant brown bag with a 10-pound cast iron skillet and cooling rack busting out of the top. You never know when you'll have to start a fire and cook a meal while traveling. In the first round of security, Jesse managed to cause a "Code 3" alert with the fig and walnut butter he stashed in his bag. I'm totally bummed about that one. The TSA guy was too, he actually felt bad about taking it away. I followed up with a "Code 4" alert (for the skillet and cooling rack) that necessitated security to pass the tissue-thingy-wand through all of my possessions looking for explosives. I did look pretty menacing in my socks and flip flops and Ashmont Records T-shirt.
Unfortunately, free internet also means that connection is not very fast and is VERY temperamental. Google and DIAFREEWIFI are not friends. So photos of our adventure are pretty much out of the question.
Oh! Time to board! Goodbye Denver, hello Portland.

I can't believe they took your special butter! Although, clearly, you were planning on heating it in the cast iron skillet, then throwing the molten hot dairy product on both the pilot and co-pilot, thus immobilizing them and leaving you with total control of plane.
Yay Portland!
My thoughts exactly. Molten fig walnut butter really stings - especially when it is applied with a 10-pound skillet to the face.
seriously? they took the butter?
and you really carried a cast iron pan through security? damn.
