I saw LOVE!



I just got back last night from the WPPI convention (the largest photography expo in the known universe) in Las Vegas. Wow, was it cold there this year. It even rained all day Monday - the one day Karen and I walked from Planet Hollywood to the MGM Grand where the expo was. It's funny how all the hotels look "close" until you start walking the distance. Shoulda cabbed it!! Karen didn't like me too much after that walk.

Speaking of Planet Hollywood, ummm don't think we're going to stay there again. We stayed in the Forest Gump room and this place really was like a box of chocolates. It was okay but talk about chintzy! Wow, was I surprised. One bath towel (make that a very thin, small, scratchy, $2.99 Walmart towel) per person, no complementary 1 cup of coffee in the room (I have to have my morning blend), only about 13" of hanging closet space, 2 very small drawers, and our wall-mounted TV was positioned 90 degrees from the bed. And we stayed in an upgraded room with about 100 more square feet of space. Karen spent 10 min. ordering a bathrobe to be sent up our first night, only to have the maid take it away the very next morning of our 4 day stay. Oh, and the really yucky part was there were food dishes from other rooms on the hallway floor for 2 days. Apparently that's not the maids job. Sorry, just had to share that part too.

We went and saw LOVE, the Cirque Du Soleil tribute to the Beatles. Totally amazing and I highly recommend it. Wow, what a show.

The photography expo was good but never-ending as usual. Even MySpace had a booth selling ... well, I don't know what they were selling because MySpace is free, go figure. I made it out of there only spending about $150 on a ShootSac to carry my lenses and things while shooting weddings.
