Brad Feld, one of my fellow board members at Feedburner, has written on occasion about his love/hate relationship with United. Tonight, Brad, I was thinking of you. After United made us wait for two hours due to "mechanical" difficulties, we lost our plane (and gained another 5 hours of layover in Salt Lake City) when the septic truck servicing the plan accidentally rammed the plane. The driver supposedly hit the plane perfectly along a seam of rivets, taking the plane out of service. I am only sorry I did not have my digital camera out to capture the SLC police giving the guy an alcohol test on the tarmac...
Mission
- To encourage dialog between entrepreneurs and the proverbial dark side. For many entrepreneurs, the venture world is needlessly opaque and confusing. Venture principles, processes and norms are relatively straight forward, but not commonly understood. With a Windy City twist, this blog will try to shed light on the world "behind the curtain".

Ah - the joys of United. This is a good one for the United "Untied" scrapbook.
