So on top of the garage at 10pm? I assume the D concourse side right? I might be a little late. But I'll get there ASAP. Got the camera battery charging. Though without a tripod I'm not sure how well this will work.

Hey if any of you guys have an extra tripod can you bring it? I can set my camcorder up to record at super slow speed so when its played back the FX ops will be super fast. Could try and capture the entire show on tape.

Should we call airport police and give them a heads up?

What about starting on the garage and moving to the Holiday Inn if chased off? Free parking would be better but the view from the garage is great.

Well that was fast. About 15 minutes after getting there we were met by airport police. At least they were really nice about breaking up the party. Hats off to them for being respectful about it.
