cairomaniac

hi all!

just a note to let you know that i've landed in cairo safely, ready to embark on egyptian movie madness.

off to a fun start- got through customs after an all-night flight, only to wait around in the airport lobby for an hour, scratching my head. turns out they thought i was supposed to be black, so they didn't know i was the neil they wanted. i took a cab on my own to the hotel, and went on a harrowing, hour-long, near-death experience of a ride in order to get here. but i made it in one piece! and we went right by the pyramids! it's early afternoon here, and for some reason i'm pretty wired, so maybe jet lag won't be that bad.

this is the only mass email i will send- this post and all my subsequent posts will appear on my heretofore rarely-used blog, at http://ilovebigneil.blogspot.com/. so you can follow my progress there! i'll send a reminder of the url in a week or two.

all my best!
