3 New Friends in the first 3 minutes

<a href="http://twitter.com/dannynewman">@dannynewmann</a>, whom I'd never met but is part of the startup scene in Boulder (he just finished <a href="http://www.jetblueset.com">jetblueset.com</a> - which takes your forwarded email confirmations and aggregates the results into a leaderboard for All You Can Jetters - most cities, most miles, closest call on layovers, etc) happened to be on the plane. New friend #1. He's off to Aruba tomorrow.

While taking my seat, the guy in the row behind me asks "Are you Ryan?" It turns out to be <a href="http://www.everlater.com/nathanjenkins/my-hotshoo-jet-blue-adventure">nathanjenkins</a> who I've met through Everlater - and happens to have already documented his route - as well as <a href="http://www.everlater.com/jetblue">the All You Can Jet Group</a>!

Sitting next to Nathan (who I learn, goes by Nate) is Kyle - who also has the pass. He's visiting 11 cities - a handful of places in the Caribbean as well as a bunch of friends in the states. Kyle hadn't heard of Everlater, but hopefully he'll log his trip. Over my shoulder I can hear Nate explaining it to him.

Hopefully I will be able to connect with the <a href="http://www.twelvehoursinacity.com/">12 Hours</a> boys tonight in Boston. (Yes, they plan to spend less than 12 hours in as many cities as possible this month). Each location page of my trip shows me which other members of the group will overlap with me. I reached out to them, and it looks like we'll be able to meet up tonight.

More to come...
