An audience of two
The turkey died of dehydration
Unfortunately the pastry chefs don't suffer from the same restrictions and had produced a rather splendid assortment of confectionary. I suspect I've just eaten at least a week's recommended intake of saturated fat and sugar. Another thing that US hotels seem incapable of doing is ordering enough decent beer. I have never yet been to a hotel bar that ran out of Budweiser or Coors, but good luck finding a decent beer half an hour in to any event. There must have been one case of Sierra Neveda for the whole room. Given that they were asking $8 for a beer that cost less than $1 you might think that they'd stock up on the product with the higher profit margin? Managed to catch up with a few old colleagues today including Barton Fiske, Phillippe Muller and Bernhard Strobel. I also met Erik Fischer for the first time. That's the great thing about events like CEC - you can work with people for years but there are so few opportunities to actually meet up and chat. Best overheard quote from the evening: I was in the bathroom, saying goodnight to my kids.
