update from the hotel

So, it's been a couple days since I touched down in Phoenix. Not a bad conference so far. Of course, working in AV is great, and I'm with Adam and Lynn again, and they're two of my favorite USITT people. Lots of new faces this year. I've also met up with Mike Cecchini, Chris Weir, Derric Nolte, and Sean Mullarkey here. I also bumped into Kathy, Chuck, and Tom from CCM. Galen Price is here, too, and it's nice to see him around. I also keep bumping into Stirling Shelton, and I've met up with a few folks from companies I've worked with in the past. I saw Clyde from the Highfield Theater in Falmouth, MA, home to the College Light Opera Company, and I ran into Matt, the lighting designer for the Centennial show last summer at CedarPoint. I've gotten a couple of sit-down interviews, but nothing that I'm really interested in so far.

I thought that these pictures were worth posting. I took them though my window on the second flight from Atlanta to Phoenix, somewhere over New Mexico. The first one is currently my desktop background.



Ok, so uploading to flickr is taking forever and a day. I'll post more pictures later, but for now, that's all ya get.

I talked to Rachel tonight, and told her about the chick that tried to pick me up in the bar. I turned her down, of course, but I felt kinda bad, because I was a little naive and didn't realize that she was hitting on me. So I paid for her tab, since she had a couple drinks while she was talking to me. I left and went back to the hotel room to wait for Steph, Becca, and Travis to get back. I miss Rachel so much, and it will be SO nice to have her back in my arms on Sunday. The time difference is really confusing, and I completely screwed up what day it was. I really thought I was just wrapping up Friday, and turns out, tomorrow is friday, and today was thursday. Go figure.

I got Rachel a tshirt from a Las Vegas production company that I think she'll like a lot, and she asked me to go back to the Hard Rock Cafe and pick up a shirt for her there, too. Of course, sweetie. :)

Anyway, it's kinda late, and I'm exhausted from running around all day. Time for some sleep, dreaming of my baby.
