But don’t be a total pansy.

Dispatches: The Airport Affront
8:31 p.m.: I arrive at my flight’s gate frazzled from the stresses of getting through security, lugging two bags definitely much larger than your standard “one carry–on bag and one personal item.” (Sorry I’m not sorry.) I immediately spot a class of 2010 Brazilian Scene-ster to whom I’m relatively well acquainted — I’d say “Hello” if we bumped into each other on Locust, why not Hartsfield Jackson International Airport? 8:36 p.m: I plop down on the facing bench and start the small talk.

From The Editor: 12.02.10
Disclaimer: This letter, this one right here, has been particularly difficult to write. In fact, even amidst all the term papers and stupid class blog posts and application essays, I've never dreaded writing something more.
