True/False

This post is not about my documentary, it is about my trip to Missouri as a projectionist for the True/False Film Festival.

       For once my flights were all on time, none of them had issues, the employees I encountered were all exceedingly nice, and one stewardess even gave me a whole can of orange juice instead of just the cup (probably because I complimented her watch). The projectionists I was meeting in STL had a delayed flight, and one even had a canceled flight, both of those things happened to me last year, so it looks like I dodged the bad luck by [.] that much. When they finally arrived, the car we rented was a  dodge charger.. now I don't know much about cars, but this one was comfortable and seemed to drive well (I'm not allowed to drive) and the other guys were totally stoked.
       We're staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Columbia Mo, and the only complaints I have are sustainability oriented. there are so many easy things they could do here to help A LOT. Examples being recycle bins, having stairs you don't have to go out of your way to use, when you turn the thermostat down in your room, your heater/air conditioner won't just stop throwing hot air at you, it'll pump out cold air, whereas it could just take a break and let the temperature fall then maintain it. Easy stuff like that would make a huge difference. Otherwise it's a very friendly and clean and comfortable establishment. (Can I get paid for that?)
    
       Today we set up screens and projectors in a few venues and had a few meetings.. when you say it that way it sounds like I basically did nothing. I learned some stuff, so that's cool. The tech dinner was VERY fancy food, the kind that makes you feel guilty because the staff is more like 'help' and they are so attentive and the food is nicer than I could afford etc. But it was nice to meet everybody.

       Tomorrow morning we have a three hour lesson on DCP (whatever that is) I think it's Digital cinema Package or something like that. the term has been flying around the whole time I've been here, so I'm excited to learn about it.

Time for bed. Night 2 in the Hampton!

Ps. I want to know if there's a hot-tub here, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be in the hotel enough to use it anyway.
