this year could not have been more different. the setup was a breeze, and because of the knee, i could not actually work the booth during the show. the combination of these factors meant that i could really enjoy the trip, and while i don't mean to imply that i wasn't working as hard, things just seemed to fall into place more smoothly.
highlights from my 'play' time for the rest of the trip included breakfast at 39th street mama's, another diners, drive-ins, and dives restaurant, and a wacky bowling game at lucky strike (i watched and laughed and videod).
i was also super-excited that the concert being hosted by the conference was sara evans, a country singer i particularly enjoy. and thanks to melissa's early arrival, we had great seats.

| a little blurry, but an event still worth being captured. i finally met melissa's husband nick! |
and, while we're talking about highlights, let us not forget the scooter. the old lady scooter that my company allowed me to rent in order to avoid too much wear and tear on the knee, pre-surgery. the scooter was an absolute lifesaver. but more than that, it was a lot of fun. not only did i enjoy (possibly a little too much) wizzing by co-workers on our way to and from the convention center, but melissa challenged me to a scooter race.
i will confirm her version of the race, but ultimately we were both winners!
my trip was cut a bit short by having to return home for surgery, but all in all, it was absolutely fantastic. i can honestly say it would rank in the top 3 work trips i've had in the last two years, and i've had some great experiences. maybe the restlessness of having been grounded for the last couple of months was a factor but i was definitely ancy for a good time, and i got one!
