My delay was longer, but at least my seatmate was charming. I felt bad for her; she was headed to Manchester, NH, where she had a 4 year old daughter waiting for her, and with the three hour delay, she was fretting the whole time about whether she would miss her connection. I stuck around just long enough after deplaning to note that the Manchester flight had indeed left without her. :-( There was one more flight to Boston that night. I hope she was able to get on it. Don't know if I would have talked to her had I met her on the way out, but the magic glow of the ability to approach anyone for a conversation at SXSW was still upon me, and I'm glad it was.
