FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I met Jay-Z once , at Nobu Restaurant in NYC. He was very cool and we talked about my days as a dj in college. During our chat Beyonce showed up and she was also very pleasant and introduced herself to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek as if I was a long time friend.l The next night I watched them both perform on TV at the VMAs :cool:

Based on the somewhat regular occurrence of threads in the Marriott Rewards forum from folks stating that they had to argue with front desk staff and management over certain elite guarantees (usually the Platinum arrival gift) I would wager a guess that the majority of people running hotels are mostly unfamiliar with their loyalty programs.

Get some rest. Hope the bruising goes down.

It's fairly legendary - Andy Azula (UPS whiteboard guy crying at the airport because his DL flight was late) was trying to emulate.*

I never made that connection - just goes to show how piss poor of a job he did in trying to execute that emulation.

Thanks, I'm way out of practice too. The one I started on today is more difficult. Song is too long and I really don't feel like dealing with a proper audio edit so shorten it. It seems that the quick frame edits of the music are not noticible when there's video to distract your attention. Also editing to hip-hop has to put me in a different mind set.

nice job ^

You're welcome. Pass that on as needed. It really does stand the test of time.

In other news, how many people would kill for a shot like this?
