OK, so I had another convention, that was thrown on me about 2 weeks ago. I am now in Council Bluffs, Iowa. BLEH! I fell asleep on the couch last night, shortly after the race, and woke up to see the fat-arse dog sleeping in Kevin's chair. It's funny to see him get out of it. He's too fat to be there.
So I packed up and hit the road, meeting up with my BWF Michelle at her house. We hopped in the rental and headed North. It was about a 3 hour drive, and boring as hell, except for the good conversation and some REO Speedwagon. We got here and dropped off our bags.
We met up with "the guys" and headed to Omaha, NE for dinner. We ate at Upstream, then stopped at a cigar store for the guys. Then, we headed around the corner to a jazz joint for drinks and entertainment. It was cool, but we were ready to be done.
After getting back to the hotel, we headed down to the convention party, which was quite lame. We stayed for about 12 minutes. After leaving, Michelle and I hit our room, dropped off our stuff, and went across the street to the casino. I didn't have gambling money, so I mostly watched. Sure, I hit the penny slots for about 2 minutes, but that was it.
Now, it's midnight, and I'm wiped. Tomorrow we will work the trade show, break down the booth, and head home.
Damn Iowa. I wanna be home!

WOW you are travelling again?? You're always on the go! I'm jealous!
Have fun! Pam
My cousins live in Omaha. I've only seen the airport. I "can't" imagine why Iowa isn't the big tourist state! Ha! Were the geese still migrating? That was kind of cool last year in March.
I hate beer but I love ale. Go figure.
