iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

i’ve been to a few PAXes

140

the plane hadn’t left the gate yet, so the staff just opened the door and let him out. while waiting he asked me for directions to the passport center. then i helped to carry some of his bags front. very nice guy all told. i hope he finds his guru someday. and maybe his own “smartphone device”

650

when the flight attendant arrived, he very calmly asked to get off the plane, he didn’t have any ID on him. both of us were wilded out. how in the heck did this guy get through security, and pay for a seat?

he thinks about this, and thanks me and then pressed the call button.

so i thought long and hard at this guy who is clearly not all there, and told him something i might regret idk?: “travel is not something to be taken lightly, a pilgrim must be fully ready. you should go get your passport handled if you’re going to do anymore travel.”

so the guy next to me thinks about this for a couple of seconds. asks me “how good is my intuition?” idk man, okay i guess? “mine is really bad, should i go get a new passport in seattle? my old one was stolen and it should be ready now” bro, you’re on a plane about ready to head to tucson??

really insistent that he was sure this guru would be speaking in tucson. so i looked up again, and nothing. the guru in question, according to the guru’s instagram, was from brazil and had no international speaking plans for the next couple of months.

he was really sure this guru would be speaking in tucson. but he wasn’t sure because he read about this on a flyer 7-8ft up on a pole.

easy enough, just get on a specific bus and walk a couple of blocks after getting off near the big park. then he asked when a specific guru would be speaking at that church. he thought it would be in october (why fly now?). but i looked up the calendar at the church for both sept and oct. nothing

wild story on the way home from pax (seattle) a guy sat down in the seat next me, had like three small bags, a blanket, and a tiny standby ticket. dunno how he got on. first asked me to look up on my “smartphone device” directions on how to get to a specific church in tucson via bus

you should just say “the best lager i ever had is on the other side of the international date line” and don’t tell people that actually it’s not _that_ far (comparatively)

the only (true) bidet i have ever seen was in vegas where my credit card upgrade once got me a penthouse suite also washlets all over japan if that counts

had a surprisingly big room in brussels (free upgrade due to credit card status) also no bidet but it was a german hotelier in a business part of town 🤷‍♂️

no, however likely because the room is very small (mostly because it’s in center of paris so space is limited)
