Goodbye and Thank You SXSW!!
March 15th, 2006
I am sitting on a plane flying back to Portland. I am lucky enough to have the whole row to myself, yet unlucky to have the people in front of me lean back and give me no room for my laptop. So imagine me siting sideways across two seats,with my laptop on one pull down tray, and my right arm on the other tray. Ah, the luxuries of traveling coach. Is it still called coach or is it just, “Now boarding group 4.”? Moooo.
I am trying not to sleep on the plane even thought I am exhausted. My plane lands at 10:45 p.m. at PDX and I have to be in the office by 9 a.m. tomorrow. If I sleep on this second leg of the trip I would not be able to fall asleep and be up late, and be useless at work. Its interesting how one can spend the past fives days drinking free alcohol into the wee hours of the morning and be able to listen, take notes, participate, learn, and interact with people the next day, only to start the cycle all over again that evening. Yet one can have a full nights rest, go to work, and be out of it by lunch. One of the many “pieces of loot” that I picked up while at SXSW. I guess fortune cookies, do know what they are talking about.
