viva las vegas!

except that I'm going without Joe which really sucks. And it's not for fun, which also sucks.

Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

But I do get to eat at Red Square & Fleur de Lys in Mandalay Bay. And Daniel Boulud Brasserie in the Wynn (be forwarned, it takes forever to load and is not up front about giving you information until it talks at you).

And I do get to see coworkers that are far away from me (most of the people I work with are in Canada, Atlanta, Boise and California) that I will enjoy seeing.

I suppose there may be a little bit of blackjack and champagne.

And there will be little sleep because when you work shows in Vegas, you are "on" all the time, regardless of where you are, schmoozing, making sure you are saying and doing the right thing.

Hoping I can get some writing in on the plane, but we'll see. I always take a ton of stuff intending to write but then I never do. This time I pared back to just my moleskine and some printouts of my chronological timeline. Would be just my luck to be on a writing streak and bemoaning that I didn't bring more background material with me...

I may or may not post from Vegas, but you'll hear from me soon!
