Yeah that's techno jargon - I have a friend who does this for a living

Bye rando

Avoid reflections

My consistent experience in hotel bars has been striking up a conversation with an interesting lady or guy and being quoted a price for their product line or other things

Absolutely! How many new EV owners are about to happen bc of gas prices? If you were already shopping for a new car . . .

On the fourth night my bosses arrived, wanted to go to a jazz show and were totally confused when the band yelled my name and dragged me onstage with them

Honestly never understood why they wanted a white boy as a mascot

For $3 you got to drink from the giant communal wine jug that was being passed around

There was another hole in the wall leading to a Greek place that you could order food from/though

After my second night they started taking me with them to gigs on the riverwalk just to hang out onstage 🤷🏼

I have had exactly no good times in a hotel bar

One of my travel tricks used to be asking my cab drivers where people went for live music - that's how I ended up at an actual hole in the wall at the end of the riverwalk with a neon "Jazz" sign

A bunch of old jazz musicians hanging out 1/3

Yeah leech in my junk vibes 😭

Summer: Major League

Winter: Better Off Dead

I had ad hoc open bars in my room a number of times. A surprising number of people prefer a bottle and a bucket of ice over the hotel bar

I like your writing! Also interested in the modern circuit (I was late 90s)

Jfc. Tell me people at least take you out for dinner

I just got back from being grilled by the state legislature

I used to do the industry conference circuit when I was fresh out of college. I got to see the country, taken to nice restaurants and bars, met girls, and once became a San Antonio jazz band's mascot, but it was brutal. I can't imagine doing it for your own benefit/interests at prices like that

I can only afford to go to cons that spot me a table. I can only afford to go to out of town cons that cover my travel/lodging. I make exceptions sometimes if it’s a place I want to visit… or San Diego (dammit.)

A lot of people take huge financial risks to table at cons. Remember that and be kind.

I know people don't want to admit this but Deanna and Barkley obviously dated somewhere between STNG and Voyager

Utilities don't care unless you export onto the grid, in which case you'll show up in the meter data

There has never been, and will never be, a more embarrassing GWU professor than Jonathan Turley.

So glad I didn't go through with a degree at GW Law - I'd go to my grave wondering how much nonsense I'd been taught

It's like Trump took Noem out to the gravel pit

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency?

Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
