Oh my achin' feet... and ankles and legs and rest of me...

We walked today... a lot... a whole lot. Kind of a shock to this body which usually spends the days comfortably seated on its ample ass.

But it was great. So great. So amazing. We got there before the doors opened and walked around non-stop except for a 15 minute hot dog break until a little after 2 when we walked back to the monorail and then back to our room (which ain't no small journey either). The brothers who own Friendly Computers (my brother's store is a FC franchise) came and picked us up and took us out to dinner. It was very kind of them and they were enthusiastic hosts as were their wives. A nice treat and some exceptional Italian food.

The show itself is just really wild. Everything from tiny booths staffed by non-Englishish speaking Asians selling small bits and pieces of stuff to giant 1,000 square feet setups like Samsung which had about a hundred TV monitors hung on the wall in addition to all their other stuff.

It's just nearly incomprehensible how many people are there. All shapes and sizes. Lots of booth babes and Ford even had a couple of really really really nice looking eye candy of the male persuasion clearly hired for their eye candiness.

And they had gadgets for everyone...



Tomorrow we'll go back and do more of the same. I suspect, given our very best shot, we will have maybe seen about 10-20% of the whole show. It's just so massive.

Had I spent a lot of time and effort and research into the best hotel for the stay, I would have picked the MGM Grand for a lot of reasons. As it happens, I kinda threw my spitball on the wall and picked it. Lucky pick for sure.
It's now 9:13. Good night.
