Sitting on planes and have people sitting right next to me pull out current issues of Esquire and start reading my piece.
Then it happens three times in the last three weeks of high-paced travel.

Do you ever get the urge to look over and say, "I read that. Barnett's a first-class idiot."

Do they recognize you? Can you hear them comment or grumble on the article?

Lucky you. My experience is people sitting next to me not looking at my ads :-)

Tom,
Perhaps you could work a deal with the airlines where they could auction off the seats next to you and you could fly free. Or the airline could sponsor PNM discussions in first class, or use your PowerPoint presentations as inducements to fly first class. How about having the publishers of your new book purchase seat tray advertising to promote your books. Next flight have Esquire provide you with reprints which can be placed in every seat pocket. Who is you merchandiser?
