> Ode to British Airways Baggage Handlers <
OH, how I love thee BA
you take my suitcase away
its always when I have a super big show
that you neglect to deliver my eyeshadow
from heathrow
its been 5 days now and I don't have my hairdryer
or favourite customised shirts, or ipod charger
I have to perform wearing boring attire
cos you guys lost my stuff, again.
you suck.
Yes. I've stooped that low. It's now Thursday, I last saw my suitcase when I checked it in on Saturday Morning. Luckily I managed to smuggle some MAC eyeshadow through security, but apart from that I had none of my trademark fabulous outfits to wear at teh HEEEWWAGGGGE rave on Saturday night in the Czech Republic. The kids must have wondered what all the fuss was about - while there are probably some very well dressed and made-up BA baggage handlers at Heathrow.... WhY does my suitcase always go missing when it's a BIIIIG event I'm playing at where I really want to show what I do best? They did it to me when I did St. Petersberg massive rave thing to 8000 first, then the Sziget festival in Hungary, , the Estonia trip, the last 3 US gigs and the Monday Madness in Germany and now the SUmmer of Love festival in Czech. I end up having to perform in the same crappy travelling clothes I've been wearing all day, with basic make-up if I'm lucky, makeshift DJ bag from hotel laundry bag, no shaver, borrowed headphones etc etc. JUST NOT COOL.
I hereby dedicate this blog to all those that have had the misfortune to have their trips blighted by crap baggage handling systems. :-(
In other news - the last podcast has been mega popular, my server is struggling, but surviving - and I'm working on a mighty 2 hour electrohouse/techno/prog podcast for the Redux XM Radio show today, so that will be up soon.

Johnny,
You have to complain to British Airways, man. I flew Northwest and their partner KLM Royal Dutch Airlines or whatever to Hamburg on my second trip to Germany back in winter of 2005-6 and Northwest screwed up my flight and I had to wait like 20 hours in the Frankfurt Am Main airport in Germany waiting to fly back home to the U.S. I complained once I got back home and I got a free voucher worth $250.00, then I used that voucher to get another free voucher on the next flight (I opted to bump my next flight after that back and they gave me a voucher off of a voucher on a hop flight from Duluth, MN to Minneapolis, MN), so I flew for free on my next two flights. That's unacceptable that your luggage didn't get to you for five days.
Just my two cents...
Matt
