ICSC Day 1

OMG day 1 and I'm already tired of Las Vegas! The evening started at our client, 24 Hour Fitness' event at Noir Bar at the Luxor. The ambience was very Blade meets edward scissor hands-midnight black walls and red lighting. Goth decor and plush red leather chairs. Yummy appetizers a' plenty but I only ate a few. After that we went to the Buddah Lounge for more appetizers with "X-Next" a broker network our company is a member of; a walk out to the Palms pool got us into the annual ICSC kickoff party. We ducked out early, very early (been there, done that..over it! Need to kick my shoes off and sleep)

Let's just say its 12:16 a.m. now and I'm already lying in bed. If it wasn't for the hideous taxi line I would have been in my hotel room by 11:30 p.m.! I just want to attend my meetings, get through this convention with some useful knowledge/connections that will advance me as a broker and get home asap.

Clearly there are people here who are all about doing the Vegas thing, with work as an afterthought or excuse to come out here. Not I, says the cat. And thank God my co-workers are on the same page.

Farkin shoyt..can't believe I'm coming back to this town all over again next weekend when it's 3x as packed and expensive!

2.5 days to go..
