For Runaway British Teen, the Party Ends With JetBlue
Did New York's tourism campaign in the U.K. cause a frustrated British teen to decamp for the Big Apple? Gothamist connected the dots this morning in the story of George Lenon, a 17-year-old who fled his homeland, and his homework, for a little partying in the States. A JetBlue staffer eventually caught him at JFK, but not before the teen had time to indulge himself.
Lenon also seems to be quite adept at last-minute vacation planning (or had he been plotting his escape for a while?), as he knew to head to the Jazz on the Park hostel for a cheap sleep and the party atmosphere he reportedly craved. No one knows exactly how he spent all of his time there, but perhaps the Jazz hostel group's Flickr account provides an accurate idea of young George's exploits. Grounded or not, we salute him.
