I was THERE!

We were watching American Idol's group week last night and all I kept thinking while watching the groups practice is I WAS THERE!

Kissing Keanu

They were staying at and practicing in the hotel I stayed at 4 years ago for a conference. The camera man would zoom in on a group fighting over the choreography and I'm looking to see if that's where we had the e-mail kiosks set up that year. When they kept showing the big guy on the balcony listening to his wife deliver their first child, I was straining to see the mall BEHIND him. I'll tell you what, that made this episode of AI much more tolerable...

Oh just casually posing in my conference bowling shirt by the pool...

Hollywood & Highland

I attended a conference in Hollywood and it was fun! We stayed at the Renaissance Hollywood close to the Kodak Theatre where the Academy Awards ceremonies are held. By the time the first night ended I realized I had been up for 24 hrs. I met up with other conference board members for dinner at Loggia and then we hit the club below, the Highlands.

This is me right before I crashed for the evening. Yes, I am old and a party pooper...
