On LX1018 (13/01) and LX1017 (14/01) D! (Detlef D! Soost), one of the german "Popstars" jury members.
And in addition I had the pleasure to be at TXLs (new) SEN Lounge with Hugo Egon Balder, famous german TV star, at a stopover on 14/01.

Kool and the Gang

Saw the whole Kool and the Gang ("Ladies Night", "Fresh", "Celebration") at the end of October, Zürich - Hannover on Swiss.

At the gate I was wondering who this group of pretty old guys was, nearly up to 12 people all in black clothes with Prada sunglasses and their guitars. One guy was playing happy birthday to a small boy at the gate on his trumpet which was pretty cool.

Later I sat next to one of them who was pretty nice and un-snobby (I had the seat in Y next to the curtains, the whole of them didn´t fit in C so that two of them were sitting in Y) and he was telling me that they were coming from the US and had to play in Wolfsburg. Eropeans biggest car producer had booked them : )

Saw them later as thew were picked up buy some Ritz Carlton Wolfsburg Guy.

Nice and really cool Gang!

since august I am living about 20 minutes away from prison... It's not that I am going there all the time but I have been there a lot the last weeks...
I love that little center of the town and the whole university area...

Have you ever seen him there? Are his bodyguards around or is he "casual"?

I never have but a friend of mine has - chatting up a student in the Dinky
I thinki he should be w/o bodyguards, why would he still have any, right?

It is quite pretty.

Emilia Müller on TXL-NUE and she got the über-HON treatment. A limousine picked her up and her driver was waiting for the baggage handlers to unload her checked luggage and then they drove off directly to the street and home or wherever her next appointment was. Needless to say that the luggage took 35 minutes from leaving the aircraft till getting it off the belt for normal people.

Well, I am not sure whether state government members actually get SEN but they are not HON for sure... Being a member of the state government does not seem to hurt though... :-)

Sepp Blatter was sitting just in front of me Yesterday on LX1073. He was not in the FCT, but he got personal limo service on a Phaeton in ZRH.
