New Orleans

Had a great time in New Orleans. See my other blog for in depth coverage of the conference.

Had a few good stories. This one is probably the funnest (non-incriminating), stolen from the other blog I do.

Food at conference overall has been good. Great food around the area. Went to Palace Cafe last night and had a great seafood plate. The night started with a dinner invite with Rick from Ascentis. We cabbed it to some local restaurant up Canal Street. After sitting down to a meal we discovered they only accepted cash. Rick didn't have cash so we ended up waiting outside for a half an hour for another cab. Beautiful night so it was nice to be outside. After a great meal at Palace Cafe Rick tried to pay with his one and only credit card. Which ended up being declined. We watch a grown man sweat, turn green, cry and almost pass out and am pretty sure he was begging the waiter for a job in the back to do dishes. We let him off the hook but probably will have some explaining to do to Linda for the hefty bill. ha.

**************

Rich came by the next day (I changed the name from Rich to Rick to protect him a little bit and I doubt anyone is reading this blog so no need to be too secretive) and he gave us peace offerings of coffee mugs and pens. Nice guy and I felt bad for him but for some reason we couldn't stop laughing at him (with him) while this was all taking place.

My roommate did snore. I was surprised I got any sleep actually. We didn't come in before 2 am any night so it didn't make much difference anyways.

Giving a test tonight. Mary-Liz is MIA. Anyone find out the scoop on her?

Everyone said they spent the whole week studying for this test. I expect high flying grades. Although Ashley did admit she did most of her studying on chair 1, 4, and 7.

Scratched 2 MC questions already and the class in only 25 mins in. Could be interesting marking this one.

Homework: Read Chapter 19
