I had just purchased some new shoes, and was wearing them as I went to the airport to fly to Denver. At the security checkpoint, I was hassled so much over my carryons that I forgot the shoes, and didn’t notice that I was walking around in my socks.
A friend asked me to watch his three year old on the flight, and that took all my attention and really tried my patience. He was constantly trying to unbuckly his seatbelt, and every time I looked away for an instant he would take off running down the aisle.
We landed for an unscheduled stop somewhere in the mountains in Colorado. When we deplaned I finally noticed that I didn’t have my shoes. One of the flight attendants brought me a box with four shoes that had been left at the security checkpoint. They were all the right brand and of similar styles, but only two were my size, and both were left shoes.
We went to an theatre for a show. The first part of the show wasn’t very exciting, but during the intermission I discovered that the man sitting in the seat next to me was the actor who voices Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama. We chatted for a while.
After the intermission a pair of magicians took the stage. As they performed, the seating area started rotating, and seemed to be lowering into the ground. But it turned out to be an illusion; really the seating was stationary, and the building was rotating, and the lowering effect resulted from the walls having a spiral pattern.
At the next intermission we exited to find that the building was apparently in a different and unfamiliar place. There were red carpets forming paths to various other buildings, and we were told to follow the carpets to avoid getting lost. We took different carpeted paths, but found that even though each path seemed to lead to a different building, that upon entering those buildings, we were back in the theatre.
