	Rachel Rachel Clark	delayed flights are no bueno, but airports do offer some exceptional people watching!   Posted by Rachel on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Joe Beleznay	Hey Meiko, sometimes we are all in our own head. I always sit and think it's crazy how I'll never see myself with my own eyes, crazy!   Posted by Joe Beleznay on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:28 PM [Reply to this]

	Katie	Aw man, I'm gonna miss you by a day...I'm flying into San Diego tomorrow...booo!! Really wish I could've caught your show! Have a great time!!   Posted by Katie on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Ryan MC	It's all good Meiko. We all can get like that every now and again. The important thing to remember (that we sometimes forget) is to not push away those who truly care about you. And although all your fans care (and we do) I mean family and close friends. So have a safe flight back to Cali, remember there are those who care, and bring down the house at the Hard Rock!   Posted by Ryan MC on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:36 PM [Reply to this]

	Lauren Zettler	i find that airports pretty much exist to feed my hunger for crappy magazines. it's a vice; i usually use travel as an excuse to indulge in it. am going to buy your record :)   Posted by Lauren Zettler on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:39 PM [Reply to this]

	AMY CHAMP Amy Champ	One of my fave things to do in airports is buy baseball caps.   Posted by AMY CHAMP on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Sir Thomas Gunz	I love airports! I think it's for the strange intersections that they are...jetlagged people heading in every which direction to places all over the globe...there's really no other place like them. And as far as the Blue Ridge Mtns go....THEY RULE! I live in Asheville, NC and I wake up to sweet mtn views daily. Oldest mtns in the world supposedly. I'm gonna send your sister some of my company's organic candy bars for her fancy fashion show gift bags I think. What...you said you were bored. Travel ragged and haggard. Peace, love and Obama.   Posted by Sir Thomas Gunz on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Jenner Denner	bored? write a song about the airport.   Posted by Jenner Denner on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Devin Marie Devin Edwards	It's a thing with Louisiana State University people that when you go to airports you have to wear something that has to do with the college. I kid you not, I have met people wearing LSU apparel in the British Virgin Islands and Alaska. It's kind of scary.   Posted by Devin Marie on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Annalisa	you were soooooo good last night at the cities 97 gig!!! love how real you were with the crowd and your music takes my breath away. how's MSP airport treatin ya?   Posted by Annalisa on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:44 PM [Reply to this]

	SamiDredd	Meiko, Please take as many pictures as possible, how about photography as a hobby? It's really nice to travel with you through your words...good to insist on creating alone the time. I really enjoy my alone time even though there are friends who will write me and say "i thought we were friends" as if am supposed to allow people to take over all my time and not take time out to reflect and grow, smile. Thanks for the "Piano Song" and "Sleep" I enjoy those two babies of yours.   Posted by SamiDredd on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Duy	Even hanging out with you at the airport would be the greatest thing ever! You're just too cool.   Posted by Duy on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 5:46 PM [Reply to this]

	~SarLynn~	Layed over, Philly airport, dead iPod, on my Bday, watching a teenage love saga unravel across from me....and a bird poops on my new denim jacket. Yes, IN the airport. GOTSTA LOVE AIRPORT TERMINAL LIVING! (and Tide-To-Go pens, WOOT WOOT!) Here's to random birds, thoughts, and cabin rentals in the mountains! Enjoy Hard Rock :)   Posted by ~SarLynn~ on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 6:01 PM [Reply to this]

	ts	Being on the road is a bitch; It's tiring, you never know if you're going to have a good meal, your sleep schedule gets all screwed up, you don't know what kind of crowd is going to be at the next show, you have to converse with people that turn out to be weirdos that you can't shake,even being with the people you know and love becomes tedious.... God, I miss the road! You ought to have a boatload of new material in your head once the tour is over and you're rested up. I'm looking forward to hearing it. Download "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by Peter, Paul, and Mary if you can. Sounds like it will fit your mood perfectly.   Posted by ts on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 6:02 PM [Reply to this]

UR going to be eye-catchingly BEAUTIFUL!!! and let me know when your ready for that log cabin...I got the hook up! ;] not to mention that'd be a killer setting for a making of DVD! hint hint!!! Safe travels!   Posted by matt on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 6:10 PM [Reply to this]

	ned ned brooks	Poor baby, Stuck at the airport! Just want to let you know how amazing you were in Seattle Saturday night. I really enjoyed getting to chat with you a little bit afterward, also. I wish I was going to be in San Diego tonight! Seattle is dark and dreary today, and I'd kill for some sunshine! Take care, Ned   Posted by ned on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 7:06 PM [Reply to this]

	11th Hour - Macon	Should you tire of the cabin or want human contact, Blue Ridge, GA has a great drive-in theatre and some cheesy train-related attractions. Great getaway spot.   Posted by 11th Hour - Macon on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 7:20 PM [Reply to this]

	Tsunami Mommi Celina Kolinski	You gonna hang out with us homely folks when you come in for Christmas...we are the strange people you see at the airport.   Posted by Tsunami Mommi on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 7:21 PM [Reply to this]

	Susan Susan Yu	hey MEIKO! sucks that your flight was delayed..i remember when i was coming home to LA from New York during Christmas..my flight was delayed like many times..and i ended up coming home on Christmas eve when i was suppose to come home like the 22nd..stupid! hahaha..have a safe flight and a great time in San Diego!!!   Posted by Susan on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 7:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Mike Mike Wolcott	Hate airports I just got done coming home to Michigan via Phoenix and Denver and there are some cranky ass people in airports. For people on Vacation peeps are cranky! I hope you day is a beautiful one and yeah get on that new record for sure! :) I actually was in the Denver airport the day you were playing there.... i was hoping.... just a thought. anyways have a great day and safe travels. keep on writing beautiful songs! peace! mw   Posted by Mike on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 8:07 PM [Reply to this]

	Mark Branson Mark Branson	Well let us see now; maybe you feel that way because you are living without having to worry about money and you have been partying way to much; or maybe you need to pray and ask God to help you do the right thing... Money isn't everything. You need a nice guy like me to talk to. I can help.... If you want to talk just call me. message me for my number...see ya Meiko and I hope someday we can meet. You would like me I promise Mark   Posted by Mark Branson on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 8:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Stewart Stewart Allan	You can't be crazy if you're thinkin' about a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains...that's just plain sane! Remember, when in the Minneapolis airport, if you have to use the facilities, do NOT use the wide stance...they arrest important people for that. Love your blogs...keep 'em coming!   Posted by Stewart on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 9:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Jen jen faulkner	oh mannn...It's gotta be the stars! I'm completely stuck in my head and cant get out, along w/a bunch of my friends who've said the same thing. who knows? We're all just moving through........and through....and through. Anyway, keep blogging away.....your writing style has this super cool way of FLOWING!!! Me likey =) (whoa...did I just do one of those, like, smiley faces????) Peace out!   Posted by Jen on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 9:33 PM [Reply to this]

	ALifeInArt	1. Haha, People "always" ask me where I'm from, even in Dallas, which IS where I'm "from." hahaha. 2. You always look pretty, "fabulous" isn't necessary at the airport. [fabulous used as an "LA type term," ha.] 3. The stars, the stars . . . . [that's a conversation for later, hah.] 4. Blue Ridge: Fantastic Idea. [I mean anywhere that lets you focus.] 5. Write a song, about the people in the Airport, while you're waiting around. [or a blog, ha.]   Posted by ALifeInArt on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 9:44 PM [Reply to this]

	hardk0r Arthur David	Ok now this might not be the awnser you want but here it goes you are now a star baby and you are distant from everyone THATS WHY THEY CALL IT BEING A STAR if you werent set apart from regular people they would call it being a ROCK and it only gets worse from here you will be kept away from everbody bucause nobody can be trusted. Dont forget you can hold back the tide a little in the early years. My advice to you is enjoy the fact that your one of the shining lights in the sky and try to share the lime light with the little people that is the only thing that will keep you from loosing all normalcy in your life. Do not lock yourself away in a cabin that will only make it worse you will become you own worst nightmare stay in the sun and go visit the people in your life that you love. On the way home play yourself some Green Day Boulevard of Broken Dreams BIG HUGS from NYC Stay cool baby!!!   Posted by hardk0r on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 11:04 PM [Reply to this]

	laura	ah meiko.... if only you knew my parents... they have a cabin in suches georgia, where you could write to your hearts content... its about 6000 feet up... its beautiful.. and as for not looking fabulous at the airport, you arent supposed to.. its your chance to blend in and look every day.. and i always crave my alone time ya know?   Posted by laura on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 11:04 PM [Reply to this]

	Shelley	I don't think your too Hollywood for the Twin Cities... Minneapolis and St. Paul are pretty with it. Airports are just weird. How was the Cities 97 Sampler Release Party? I really wish I was back in Minnesota to go to that. You, Jason Mraz, and Eric Hutchinson are an excellent combo.   Posted by Shelley on Thursday, November 20, 2008 - 11:37 PM [Reply to this]

	Kitty	Like the sound of the Cabin...bet its inspirational. Have a blast at the Hard Rock!!!!   Posted by Kitty on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 1:12 AM [Reply to this]

	♥ sNc ♥ Peachy Keane	Hey Girl! It sucks you are stuck in an airport but great to hear you are doing good. Just think at the rate you are going you will have your own plane soon! I'd really love to see you when you come home for Christmas. Tell your sis hello!   Posted by ♥ sNc ♥ on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 1:49 AM [Reply to this]

	Thuy	i bet people were jealous of that Hard Rock t-shirt. high school sucks. you probably weren't one of those girls with sticks up their skinny asses. :)   Posted by Thuy on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 2:41 AM [Reply to this]

	♥Smart is Beautiful♥	Advice from my sister: to get rid of a starer, just stare back for a second, make a face, then look away. They'll think you're crazy and will stop looking.... maybe. :) Was at the HC last night and heard a remix of "Heard It All Before" playing. Please tell me you're releasing an EP or B-side type of album. I'd really like to hear it again. Being a performer/artist makes it difficult to find time for just you, and you might not be aware of it all the time. If you feel the need to pull away for awhile, do it. Everyone needs time to recharge. And if you create a brilliant new record to share, it's all good. :D   Posted by ♥Smart is Beautiful♥ on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 2:53 AM [Reply to this]

	Lorisa	I love you Meiko!!! I got your email about the album being on sale at Amazon MP3 but I got it back when it first came out and I still listen to it like every day. Keep doing your thing and you will go far. Thanks for being real :)   Posted by Lorisa on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 4:12 AM [Reply to this]

	Richard Richard May	STAY STRONG GIRL,THEIRS NOTHING OUT THEIR THAT COMPARES TO WHATS IN YOUR HEAD, WE ALL HAVE DEMONS IN OUR HEAD,THE MORE TWISTED AND HURT YOU ARE THE BETTER YOUR MUSIC WILL BE, SORRY I WHAT DOESNT KILL US MAKES US STRONGER   Posted by Richard on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 4:49 AM [Reply to this]

	donna	Yes, you probably do look "too hollywood" for that airport. I think you should hide away in your cabin immediately to write another amazing record. Maybe your wanting to be alone is a very good thing :) I thought i was pretty cool wearing big t-shirts in middle school! Thanks for blogging, i really enjoy them!   Posted by donna on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 5:40 AM [Reply to this]

	Stewart Cole	Make sure they play my theme song, I guess daisies will have to do Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews Turn the spit on that pig, kick the drum, let me down Write my name on the hood, send me of! to another town! missed u in LA meeks :(   Posted by Stewart Cole on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 9:47 PM [Reply to this]

	AJ AJ Sponable	i think you should go thoreau style! although that would mean no new music for a very long time, which would, in itself, be a downright shame   Posted by AJ on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 10:57 PM [Reply to this]

	Soul Wing	I feel you :) if you ever get the chance you should listen to some of my stuff :)   Posted by Soul Wing on Saturday, November 22, 2008 - 6:33 AM [Reply to this]

	Joseph L	Being a star is not easy! Get to those Blue Ridge Mountains! That is some beautiful territory up there. Drove all through them this past summer. Its a world inside of a world. I know you could wright some good stuff there. Don't let that normal baggy everyday life getaway from you either. Have fun and enjoy yourself. Shout back sometime soon.   Posted by Joseph L on Monday, November 24, 2008 - 2:22 AM [Reply to this]

	Lina &hearts	Hey Meeeeeks, I would recognize you at the airport and embarrass you in front of everyone for wearing random shit. So , what flight are you on next? Just kidding! : )   Posted by Lina &hearts on Monday, November 24, 2008 - 7:38 AM [Reply to this]

	Tiffalicious	I cant believe you said "shitballs" LMAO... I ALWAYS say that! I know what you mean about airport life I sleep in a hotel room 300 days a year because of my job and it definitely sucks donkey dong. LOL I just saw your show in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago and you kicked ass. I love you song Real Sweet. I so relate... its scary. HA! Keep fightin the good fight.. i look forward to more tunes.
