Road Warrior
Our KZFR crew made it back to Chico from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) conference in Atlanta without incident. Actually, I accidentally left a flashlight at the hotel, and somewhere in the Atlanta airport my Klean Kanteen is waiting, and waiting and waiting. I hope someone decides it's too cool of a thing, stainless steel and all, to be sent to the landfill.
By the way, the conference was great, the Sheraton was great, but I don't much care if I ever see Atlanta again. Food and beverage are much too expensive, even by California standards, and the panhandlers on the street won't leave you alone. Oh, and the pikers want $8 for crappy wireless internet in the airport. That was the last straw for me. Internet access should be free in an airport, especially the "snail's pace" available in the Atlanta airport.
Right now, I'm in the Sacramento Airport (again) heading toward a video shoot in SoCal for the California Water Board. Stayed at the Vagabond Old Town last night. I love the location of this place and have stayed there several times, but my wife is right, it is really noisy there. I generally don't have issues with that sort of thing, but between the garbage trucks, sirens, trains and traffic, even I was annoyed.
I'll be in the Hyatt in Long Beach tonight...please God, let them have free wireless internet!
