my boss tried to warn me.

she told me -- don't stay at that hotel. it's "flithy and disgusting" i think were her words.

so i tell her, i've stayed at more than my fair share of dumps. not to worry, i'd be just fine. 

bravado. i deserve my fate.

my room key is actually a key. on a plastic keychain that has my room number melted into it. crudely. and there's sticky stuff on it. tune in tomorrow. i'll have pictures.

and wish me luck. i've got to go back there and sleep now...

p.s. *Friday Free Stuff is not a contest. It's me giving away stuff that I personally own to somebody I choose. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office.


OK.

huge big deal.

I'm headed to NY today.

I'm going to be there for a certain huge big deal.

I'm getting to go because:

1. I am very good at smiling sincerely and thanking people for joining us as I hand them their badge at the registration table.
2. I live sort of close to NY so getting this tight little bod (desired state) to NYC is cheaper than flying somebody out from California.
3. I blog on the side. (but don't tell anybody)
4. It's not what you know but who you know.

and soooooo....

I get to go!

I'm in my element when I'm doing live event coverage, people. This is going to be good. I promise.

So that's the big news for today.

On the personal front, I'd like to announce that I am personally married (and have been for the last nine years) to the most spectacular man on the face of this planet.
