INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MONTELLO: A TRAVELOGUE (PART TWO)
by JASON DEAN

September 14th: I woke up in the middle of the night after some last minute work on the t-shirts and hats I was working on for the gift shop at the airport. I was leaving a huge mess of sewing and ironing behind. I went downstairs to get in a car service to the airport, it was way too early to deal with the long subway ride and I didn't want to miss the flight, as appropriate as that seemed.

At 11:45 a.m., I already had one foot over the threshold of the Cowboy Bar in Montello, when, by raw coincidence, a white van with Utah plates pulled into the lot. I’d hoped to glean from the bartender if there really was such a thing as International Airport Montello, but the fortuitously timed arrival of an airport shuttle van answered my question.

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MONTELLO: A TRAVELOGUE (PART ONE) by JASON DEAN\
August 14th:
I just got an email from Art In General with the subject 'International Airport Montello Layover Support Position Available'. Having gone to the lecture at Sara Meltzer Gallery, and looking at the Airport website at all of the different jobs people from Montello were 'working', I just assumed they were looking for another security guard or baggage handler for the airport, and that a new position had opened up at the airport itself, in Montello and I entertained the idea for a second, trying to figure out how it could work in NYC.
