It's all about the points

I do not have a bucket list, I just know what I like, and when opportunities present themselves, I go for it.

I received an email a few weeks ago that the CW TV show Penn & Teller Fool Us was filming their new season and needed audience members. Well, I had enough points for a hotel stay. I had enough points for a Delta flight (in Comfort+) and I can get a rental car for $50 (Thank you Budget Employee discount). So here I am.

I had my choice of days and shows, tapings take about 4 hours, and I have to wear pants (not shorts, and I figured at 109 degrees sweats would be silly). I chose the 12PM Saturday show, I could have also gotten a ticket for the 6PM taping, but I didn't think my head or body could take it. So I got the room, took a flight that left after work and here I am.

The flight was OK, I had the exit row, in fact my seat was next to the exit door. The TV didn't work (Delta gave me 500 miles/points for my troubles) but after I finished listening to a podcast, I went to sleep for most of the trip.

Since I got to see everyone who was boarding in coach, I considered taking video or pictures of all the people who bought 1 seat , and let me tell you, they were not going to fit. The airlines really need to address this issue. The airlines need to do something. I was happy to have a skinny person next to me.

95 degrees at 10:00 PM, but it's a dry heat. Heat is heat. 109 tomorrow.

I do have tickets for another illusionist tomorrow night (Shin Lim, you can find him on You Tube) and then an 8:30 AM flight on Sunday get's me home for dinner.
