I will once again be in the same city as my beloved Nomah and DLowe. Though I won't be able to go see them play, I will be thinking good thoughts towards Shea... Yup, me and my 3 oz. travel sized hair gel am off to NYC.
As this is my first flight since the relaxation of the dreaded liquid/gel carry on rule, I decided to head over to FAA.com to see what is and isn't allowed these days. I couldn't be more stupified...

Cuticle Cutters
