No kidding! $3.75 for a glass of OJ and $11 for a single waffle w/ a dozen
berries (& s-l-o-w service) at the Biltmore. <shudder>
Oh. Were you talking about the sauna-esque hotel room (w/ complementary stench
and mold-dust(tm) but w/out a/c or a working telephone) at the "Good Night
Inn", w/ shooting/stabbing a block away, and the loud argument amongst a large
group of loud-mouths on the street below our window from about 2-3:30am? The
argument was all in Spanish, but I beleive it went something like:
Person A:"You got Alias in my Wavefont!"
Person B:"You got Wavefront in my Alias!"
Person C:"How are they together?"
Persons A&B:"Hmm. Not as good as MAX!"
Person D:"Oh yeah? Well, LightWave kicks ALL their butts!"
etc.etc.etc.
Anyway, it was good to meet you, Bob, and I just wish I had been a little
better rested prior to the ASOFT bash, so I would've enjoyed it more and felt
more like mingling. As it was, none of my group had gotten any sleep Sat.
night <see above> and not only were we running on empty, but none of us could
wait to get back to our new hotel room (a wonderful gal w/ ATI travel at the
convention got us a room at the Omni for less than at the flea-bag!) and hit
the beds. (Actually, as it was, we went back and sat around drinking Cokes and
watching Beavis & Butthead, before crashing!)
