Hewie At CES09 - Day 1

[Hewie Poplock]

It's off to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. The trip was exciting. I was routed through Chicago and got to see snow on the ground. It was the first time in about 20 years. Usually I have to ask for an extension for the seat belt on the plane, but this is the first time I have flown since I lost weight. I was able to forgo the extension. Yeah.

I got to the hotel where I am staying and waited for Mike to arrive. I am sharing a room and it was in his name. United had us flying in different directions. I changed in Chicago & he changed in Denver.

I took the casino picture with my phone. After checking in, we registerd & got our badge holders. We went to Cntr Stg, a meetup of bloggers. We watched Steve Ballmer give the Keynote speech through a feed in the Cntr Stg Suite. Then it was off to try some parties, which we didn't make.

We ended up at out hotel for a bite to eat and I lost some money in the slots. The sports bar in the hotel had customers bras & panties hanging around the bar. I guess they lose more than their shirts in this Casino.

Well it's off to sleep for the night and time to start the show in the morning. Our friend Greg from Alaska is meeting us in the morning & we start at the Sands Convention Center.
