Our first show in CA looks dangerously close to being jeopardized due to flight issues. Bob Skeat flew to New York from London via Paris on one of the amazing new Airbus 380 double decker jumbo planes. People will know that in London, a massive new terminal 5 has built to accommodate this behemoth which has the capacity to disgorge up to  800 people upon landing. It has two boarding tunnels and is a triumph of technology. 

In New York they could give a rats arse about any of that and so there was complete chaos at JFK which proved it wasn't up to the job of handling the 500 passengers this time round. The baggage handlers couldn't deal with it, there was only one passenger exit ramp and immigration was besieged. 

As a result, most passengers missed their connections including Bob, who was heading to San Diego via LA. Air France had to cough up for passenger hotels in the Big Apple and we are now keeping our fingers crossed that dear old Bob will grace the stage with us tonight at Humphrey's By The Bay in San Diego. I met with Muddy Manninen last night briefly and his bags had gone missing. Flying is a risk operation, it seems. What's new?
