I was at the right place at the right time. JetBlue occupied the corner of E. 11th Street and University in Manhattan's East Village, giving away free tickets to anyone clad in blue and bearing something plane-related. The crowd rounded the corner, and loud cheers erupted as each victor claimed a voucher for travel. "Any city to any city does have a nice ring to it." The crowd dispersed a little after 2 PM, and plenty of would-be travelers left happy. Among them were fellow writers David Farley (@davidfarley) and Charu Suri (@Butterflydiary) -- great to meet you guys!

If you've ever needed a reason to follow JetBlue on Twitter, this is it.
