i haven't got mine back yet (just arrived back in san francisco yesterday evening after spending about 20 hours in transit, including our v e r y s l o w 4hour-drive to heathrow), but i was surprised to see people losing their cameras all around me while i was miraculously allowed to hold mine aloft two-rolls-worth without so much as a glance from the heavies. perhaps i'm invisible, or maybe the bouncers were just afraid of me.
Or being accosted by Swedish people looking for drugs (that's wanting to buy them, not randomly drug searching us).
hey! i thought i was the only person to have that happen! jeez, those swedes sure get around.
security guards swarming round, perhaps they had had complaints that none of us could remember the words to tiggerjammies when we were pissed or that Mark's flauting was too twee or something.
