What a WERID night.......

[TheVTCGuy]

Did you ever feel like you're actually playing a part in an episode of "The Twilight Zone?" So.... right now, I'm sitting in the Admirals Club of the Chicago OHare airport, HOPING I get to fly home tonight. I left the East Coast at 12:00 this afternoon, and should be snoring in my own bed right about now... but thanks to that *$)#($* storm, I have been delayed... cancelled.... delayed... and... well, you get the picture. I don't drink, but am seriously considering starting right now....

So, I (Finally) get out to Chicago, and get put on a flight that should have left like an hour ago, but won't leave until 11:00 tonight. So, if there are any TRFers in Chicago with nothing to do, come on down to ORD, I'M BUYING!!!! But back to the weirdness....

The whole flight here, I start hearing rock songs from the 70s in my (brain damaged) head. Have NO idea where they came from... but can't stop rocking out to songs I was cranking up when I was 16 years old in my 1972 Ford LTD with a 351 Windsor..... (yeah yeah, I know... I'm old.... ). So, I land, walk in to the Admirals club... and see three gentlemen checking in right in front of me. Recognizing them immediately, I strike up a conversation. They were the nicest guys.... asked me how MY day was going, told me they were on their way to a concert, they had problems with their flights... laughed, flirted with the desk-girl.... Oh, who were they?

Kevin Cronin

Neal Doughty, and

Bryan Hitt.

Who are these guys?

REO Speedwagon

Anybody (else) remember REO? We chatted for a few minutes, and I told them I was a big fan, they thanked me, asked me what I did for a living, they were gentlemen, and genuinely very nice. I considered asking for an autograph.. but, I don't know... didn't want to be push. And right now, I can hear you all saying: "Pics, or it didn't happen" But, I didn't want to bug them... so, here is my pic....

So, for the mini-GTG, I'm in the club opposite (I think) gate K-4, come on down! I knew I had to try this drinking thing sooner or later..
