Tea Party

Well, not really, but there *is* a party tonight. Big party for the conference, sponsored by Microsoft. The Goo Goo Dolls are playing even. Not too shabby, considering it's *free* ( for conference attendees ). Thanks Bill! ;)

The conference overall has been not so much informative, as good to meet some of the vendors in person that we're already dealing with, and meet some new ones that we aren't working with ( yet! ). That's generally the purpose of these things though, so all to be expected.

I've been good, and hit the hotel gym 2 nights out of 3. Just 3 miles on the treadmill at an aerobic pace, but that's all I'd be doing at home anyway ( plus weights, but those were rather lacking so I didn't bother ).

Tonight should be interesting, as it's Game 7 of the ALCS, and Boston stands a chance to knock the Yankees off ( coming back from a 3-0 deficit in a best of 7 series to make it to game 7 is not a mean feat! ). I'm not so much a Boston fan, as I'm kind of an anti-Yankee fan. Maybe it's something about rooting for the underdog. :) If they do win, hopefully I'll survive the riots as I've got a 6am flight out in the morning. Urgh. Not looking forward to that, but it puts me back in Chicago in time to start my normal work day there. Yay for work travel. :D
