On the road

[slyvermont]

In mid-July, I joined Rich on a business trip to NYC, staying in a posh hotel (where his conference was) in the middle of the theater district. It was a bizarre place (Marriott Marquis): the lobby was on the eighth floor, and the elevators were quite challenging. When you stepped into an elevator, the first thing you notice is there are no buttons

Yeah, well, being in Hawaii is a nice substitute.

It'll come back to San Francisco, I bet. There is also the thought of arranging a minicon around one of the showings.

You were in Boston? And didn't say anything? :-P

I really need to get over to MFA and see the Hopper exhibit.....

It was a very last minute decision to go -- we didn't get in touch with anyone. Sorry!

The Hopper exhibit was great. It closes in mid-August, so you're running out of time.

I know the Marriott Marquis well; it's always one of the hotels we use when we have our big annual professional meeting in NYC. I don't recall the info kiosk, but in general the elevators are always a nightmare, especially the first day of the convention, with waaaay too many people trying to use them. You can wait for half an hour, easy.

No, not boring! I like hearing about touristy trips and what kinds of places natives (or ex-natives) like to take newcomers.
