Good to be back in the tdot for a few days. I officially do not like business travel at all. I like being in different cities....its just the getting there and back that sucks. Softchoice needs to get a private jet.

The Seattle trip continued to multiply in its insaneness. Wed was the Sake Bar opening, and with unlimited sake, japanese beer, sushi and sashimi we were all uber happy all night. The bar is really nice too and will have to for sure keep hitting it up whenever we are in town. Eric and Edwin landed a bit too late to join the opening, but we made sure to continue the party till the wee hours of the morning somewhere else. The next day was the big Softchoice event....(and not to toot my own horn or anything)....but it was spectacular! Great food...the racecar ice martini luge...loads of people...and an amazing real race car out front. The softchoice peeps and vendors then headed to a bar next door for the after-party and in typical style vendors placed down their credit cards and "forced" us to partake in more drinks. Friday was a bit harsh to wake up and pack, but i made it into the office to say bye to everyone and finish up some last minute things, before meeting lu and karen downtown to say bye to them and then grab my flight home.

It was a great mixture of business and pleasure i must say. I do feel like I need to go on a 1 week health detox now, but I hardly ever get to see karen so "I had to" party like a rockstar with her.
