When Marvel Were Stranded In Chicago – The Tale Of The United Six
Arune Singh, Ryan Penagos, Blake Garris, Tom Brennan. Sana Amanat and Daniel Ketchm. All MArvel employees. All heading home from Chicago's C2E2 on United. What could go wrong?
Ryan Penagos: @paulwesley Hey! A bunch of us @Marvel Comics folks, who are fans of yours, just saw you at the airport. Join us at Chilli's for a drink?
Sana Amanat: Hey @paulwesley us @marvel folk spotted you at the airport. Join us for a drink at chilis!
Arune Singh: Apparently @paulwesley just walked by us at O'Hare. Damn @blakegarris didn't say hi.
Blake Garris: Our flight out of Chicago was cancelled. What are you doing tonight @paulwesley? Want to get ice cream?
Arune Singh: Flight. Cancelled.
Ryan Penagos: Six of us from @Marvel are now stranded in Chicago. Our @united flight out of Chicago has been canceled. Thiiiiis sucks.
Arune Singh: Turns out our plane was busted. Wonder if @united will help the @Marvel staff get home.
Arune Singh: Hoping @united treats @Wow. Our @united rep just asked US to get him the @delta number. And we can't get our luggage back anytime soon.
Ryan Penagos:The @united rep dealing with our group just asked us if we knew @Delta's phone number. Sooooo… cool?
Arune Singh: The lesson from this trip? @united will screw you over with pleasure. The @Marvel crew isn't pleased.
Ryan Penagos:WOOOO! We got $20 meal vouchers from @united! Now guy said, "I forgot what I was doing. You made me lose track. "
Arune Singh: Apparently no one @united at O'Hare wants to help customers, even frequent flyers like @Marvel.
Arune Singh: So @united is incompetent in person and via twitter. But @deltaassist actually wants to help. Guess which airline I will never fly again?
Arune Singh: It's almost Monday and you know who's already ruined the week? @united at O'Hare
Sana Amanat: "we would have just landed by now" the worst thing someone can say. Obviously it was by @Brennanator #united6
Arune Singh: We are the #United6. Our flight wasn't cancelled. @united screwed us. @Brennanator @blakegarris @Agent_M @danielketchum @MiniB622
Arune Singh: Cant be mad @united. Imagine how our customer service reps must feel living their lives as such complete failures as human beings. #United6
Arune Singh: @blakegarris @brennanator @danielketchum @minib622 @agent_m We all need tattoos of the number 6.
Ryan Penagos: Update: we are stuck in Chicago tonight. We have hotel rooms and @Delta, not @united, is flying us out in the morning. Thanks, @DeltaAssist.
Sana Amanat: @Agent_M @Brennanator @blakegarris @danielketchum @arune I miss you guys. Also this hotel is creepy. #united6
Blake Garris: The upside of being stranded in Chicago is that our new hotel rooms are like classy 60's British porn sets. #united6
Tom Brennan: Hey, rest of the #United6, y'all have a dude with an axe staring at you in your rooms too, right?
Blake Garris: @Brennanator @danielketchum @MiniB622 did you know there's a tattoo show going on at this hotel? @arune & @Agent_M need to get in on this.
Ryan Penagos: Indiana Jones on the "TV" in my hotel room. The #United6 have disbanded for the night, but our bonds can never be broken.
Arune Singh: These hotel rooms have been home to a lot of extramarital affairs. Likely involving Don Draper. #United6
Daniel Ketchum: The decor in this hotel is something else. #United6
Tom Brennan: In a way, it's our own personal Titanic #United6 @Alejandrobot @MiniB622 @Agent_M @blakegarris @danielketchum @arune
Arune Singh: If you hear screams on this floor, it's @danielketchum or me. Minority males always targeted first. #United6
Blake Garris: Really impressed by the graphics presence at the hotel tattoo show. #united6
Arune Singh: Wait, is @blakegarris just wandering around the murder hotel? Okay, he's dying first. @danielketchum #United6
Arune Singh: I'm never flying out the same day as @MiniB622 ever again. #fanexpo #United6
Blake Garris: This is the first hotel I've ever been to where dogs can just freely roam around in the lobby. #united6
Tom Brennan: I just had a dream @blakegarris was sitting on a throne made of bones… #united6 #unitedhungergames
Blake Garris: A guy in the hotel elevator just pulled down his pants to show everybody his new inner thigh tattoo. #united6 #ineedmymommy
Arune Singh: I swear I locked my hotel room door. Except I just found it open. Not turning off the lights and may not sleep. Miss @Varessa. #United6
Blake Garris: @Brennanator you managed to sleep? I'm just sitting in the tub in the fetal position crying. #united6
Arune Singh: Either I made it to the lobby first or all of the #United6 died in the night. Eitherway, I was early! #afirst
Blake Garris: I was extremely relieved when @arune tweeted just now because I thought the rest of the #united6 had been murdered & eaten.
Daniel Ketchum: Survived night in murder hotel, but still won't post pics for those who asked, out of fear we'll find apparitions in the photos. #United6
Arune Singh: Hey @united. The #United6 from @Marvel would like to let you know even @delta is baffled by your poor customer service & lack of assistance.
Tom Brennan: "They say their journey started at a Chilis. But it began way before that, an'll last the rest there days." #United6
Daniel Ketchum: Just spent $20 worth of airport meal vouchers on pastries at @argotea. Spoiler alert: $20 buys a lot of rugelach! #United6
Ryan Penagos: #United6 update: 3 of us have seats, 3 don't yet. But we all have tix. #UnitedHungerGames continues! May the odds be ever in our favor!
Arune Singh: Just like the book, going home is only the beginning of trouble for the #United6. May the odds ever not be in our favor. #UnitedHungerGames
Ryan Penagos: @Delta gives free coffee & juice at their gate. Nice! The #United6 appreciates that.
Tom Brennan: All of the #United6 is on board. Wish us luck.
Daniel Ketchum: The #United6 boarded and it was eerily like the scene from LOST. @blakegarris @Brennanator and I are tailies. @Agent_M does a great Claire.
Blake Garris: did you see Ali Larter in first class? #united6
Arune Singh: So @Brennanator @blakegarris & I are afraid when we walk out the door we'll find we're in Chicago. @united would screw us that way #United6
Tom Brennan: The #United6 have landed! Not before @blakegarris spent the flight crying. Jerk blamed it on a kid.
Daniel Ketchum:The #United6 are back in New York. Let us never speak of the horrors we've seen.
Arune Singh: The @united folks got their revenge against the #United6 by losing baggage for @Brennanator @blakegarris and I.
Sana Amanat: "My body might smell but at least my mouth wont." @arune upon @united losing his bags but getting a free toothbrush. #united6
Ryan Penagos: The INCREDIBLY nice weather in NYC today must surely be a sign from the greatest city in the world, welcoming the #United6 back home.
Tom Brennan: Well, @United lost our bags. #United6 suffers once more
Arune Singh: Now @DeltaAssist reps at LGA are complaining about how @united keeps losing baggage. #keepitclassyunited #United6
Tom Brennan: Success! Delta found our bags! #United6 wins again!
Arune Singh: When the #United6 story is written, @Brennanator @blakegarris & I getting further screwed by @united will be the "funny" after credits scene
Tom Brennan: #United6 postcredit scene has SLJ as Nick Fury in the room w/our bags. See #Avengers 5/4!
Arune Singh: So @Brennanator and I are wondering who will do the first fan art of #United6. Our suffering should at least produce good art. #United6
Arune Singh: Mostly shocked @richjohnston hasn't reported on #United6. I can't imagine he likes @united either.
Tom Brennan: #United6 punchline @BlakeGarris has gotten back on the plane! He's going back! HE'S GOING BACK!
Daniel Ketchum: Dreading the day something terrible happens and the #United6 have to go back. (That day is tomorrow; the place we're going back to is work.)
Sana Amanat: Almost home. I want to throw up. #united6
UPDATE: Thanks to James Montague for this:
