  Powderworkers...=20

  I thought the tour was over Saturday night, but for me it wasn't over =
until late Sunday afternoon.  Midnight Oil were on my flight to Los =
Angeles.  Actually someone said, I was on their flight since they had a =
group of ten or so and I was only one person.=20

  A few notes on the flight; United Airlines now does a seconding =
screening for security purposes.  It is a random screening and you are =
told upon checking in that you have been selected.  Before they board =
the flight they ask those people selected to go to an area that is =
adjacent to the gate. This area is shaded from public view with one of =
those moveable walls you see in offices these days.  It seems there was =
some Australian Profiling going on because Peter, Rob, Bones and I think =
atleast Oil three crew members went through the re-screening process.=20

  During the boarding process Jim was three or four people ahead of me.  =
Upon handing the ramp agent his boarding pass he started searching his =
pockets for something.  I said, "looking for your house keys."  And he =
replied, "no looking for my identity" and then I'm sure he said, "maybe =
I don't have one."  I said, "I'll vouch for you as a person if need me." =
 I then boarded the plane.=20

  Now we all think that the Oils live that rock'n'roll life and =
everything is hotel suites and first class travel.  And when I saw the =
guys I thought their going to get a good laugh when I sat down with them =
in first class.  Just if you were wondering I'm only in first class as =
result of racking up miles while working.   But when I reached the plane =
I was surprised to find first class full.  As I was sitting down Jim =
walked by.  He had to stop as someone was putting luggage into one of =
the overhead bins.   I looked at him and said, "Uh I feel guilty as I'm =
up here and all you guys are going back to coach."  And he said, "as a =
Catholic I can identify with that."  We both laughed.=20

  And that was my brush with fame.=20
