Our fearless publisher MarkJ sacrificed his Wednesday yesterday by flying the new low-cost-carrier SkyBus to Columbus from New Hampshire...just for the day.

You can read all about his fun day of travel over at Jaunted but in case you wanted to know where you could stay if you were to ever visit Columbus, he has nicely dropped this picture of the Drury Inn there into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool for us to ooh and aah at.

Ok, so it's not much to look at but the lobby did have free working wireless internet access.

Remember to drop your own hotel photos into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool.

A tradition that continues today."</blockquote></p><p>Unfortunately, the artist Vinchen's website is down right now so you can't see the full NSFW version.
