On the road to Las Vegas

November 18, 2009, 6:57 AM · I am on the road to Las Vegas this morning, for the annual IAAPA Attractions Expo. I'll be posting to Twitter while I am there, as well as trying to make a couple posts here to the Blog Flume.

A full write-up will follow here on the Flume, either later tonight or tomorrow (depending upon when I get back in LA).

Have a great day, and... Vegas, baby, Vegas!

A dear friend and I who would frequent the show often used to joke: "It's the annual event where people who work in the theme park industry come together and celebrate completing another year without having to get a real job."

But if you attend all four days it is well worth it.

Good to know, since I'm no longer in a company that would qualify as "amusement park" unless you call the id 10 T that call the outsource company I work for, it can be just as entertaining and frustrating as well :o) It's amazing how many people the world revovles around, who knew... lol
