I was playing with Smog in Europe. It happened on our flight home. As I checked in the attendant told me it was over booked and I might have to stay and catch a later flight or possibly fly the next day... and I was willing to do that, you know, take one for the team even though I was dying to get home to see my babies... but then a moment later, they bumped me up to first class... at this point I was not in the same area as the other guys in the band so, you know... I was safe from their glare .. I took it, boarded, turned left to go to my fancy seat, and that was that. I say, take it when it's offered to you. Luck is a good thing and when it goes your way, welcome it. I'm sure you'll find your way on the wrong side of it soon enough so enjoy when it works out.

Sounds like one for the priest or rabbi :-). You with I&W over this way? If so, see you in Berlin! An interesting dilema indeed. Sounds like one for the priest or rabbi :-) .
