Shan and I took a trip up to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago to visit some of the best family and friends to have ever set foot on the planet. We also went to Chez Panisse for the best meal of the year. My cousin Sam is a host/server at the restaurant and he treated us right. Chez Panisse’s pizza chef shares my first name and he graciously gifted us a delicious wild nettle pizza (I never knew that you can eat nettles). Belonging to the Jed club has its advantages.
We flew up there on Virgin America, and kicked off the trip with the most amazing thing that’s happened to me in a long time: I paid attention to the entire safety video.
See it for yourself:
Kudos to Anomaly (the people behind the video) for making a safety video for human beings. Massive kudos to Virgin for giving their airline such a friendly voice. The flight was perfect, and I’m jealous that Shan gets to fly it again next week for a job interview.
I am sitting at my desk and I still watched the whole video. Kind of makes me want to fly Virgin now. Fun video and instructional too. I like the matador and bull.
Yay! Fantastic :)
That was pretty awesome. What do wild nettles taste like?
While I find the airline name oddly amusing, that was one damn fine safety video…
I’ll be in SD next weekend!
@Danny: Nettles are kind of like spinach, but much lighter in texture and slightly sweeter (but not sweet). The cheese was fairly salty which played nicely off of the delicate green nettles.
