Time to go to Plan B:

Buy the upgrade
Bribe the gate agent with chocolate to move you to an empty row
B*tch about it

After SxSW I'm doing AUS-RDU and then RDU-EWR.

Give me a holler when you come through RDU

I'm starting to feel like I should paint a big fat :rolleyes: on the roof of my car.

I've already done the third option and I don't have the miles left for option 1 as it's an L fare.

I changed our reservation to the Courtyard at the airport.

Stayed there in 11/09-no issues what so ever. They do share the AP van with the FS Marriott so if flying out allow extra time for the Marriott van to come fetch you(i cut it close)
There's a Good rib/bbq restaurant in the shopping center just above the CY

I'm not sure why we have Jose Cuervo pre-mixed margaritas in our fridge, but at this rate, I don't think there are gonna be any left tonight. ;)

True. But do D.C. shootings usually involve 10+ deaths?

I get in about 7 pm. Let me know if that works!

I now know! Like I say the agent says I look fine!
