I’ve always thought that when flying east the airports get shittier by both service- and condition standards, but I think I must’ve been wrong… Heathrow was my first stop, and boy that was in a bad shape, but little did I know until I entered here in Chicago O’Hare. Talk about big-ass airport! And ugly, and some sort of a creative chaos everywhere, totally uncomprehensible gate calls ringing out constantly, a lot of fat yanks thumping around…

Well, however, so I haven’t even reached South by Southwest yet, and I’m already complaining. The 8-hour flight from Heathrow to O’Hare was dull, I watched loads of Dr. Who until my battery of both iPod Touch & my laptop ran out, then I dug out Lauren Weisburg’s The Devil Wears Prada, and jumped into the world of high fashion. I’ve always thought that the book must be pretty crappy, but since Janos (Honkonen, mr. Fukov) suggested for me to read it, I decided to give it a try, and I have to say it seems to be pretty good one!

So, here I am, in front of gate H16, logged to Boingo’s crappy and expensive WiFi-access and try to find something to do, try to stay awake so that I don’t miss my flight…

Anyhow, my idea is to blog about what I see, who I meet and what I learn while in SXSW, hopefully next entry has more substance than just me complaining :)
