On the 8:30am flight from Las Vegas to Oakland. Saw some family and generally just hung out. We stayed at the Wynn this time and man, it's a nice hotel. Friendly staff, dealers, and pit bosses. Plus, it's looking like the new place to be seen. Lots of nice looking ladies but also lots of douche bags. Oh well, gotta take the good with the bad.
On the plane from Baltimore to Oakland (quick stop in Vegas). Had a halfway decent penne with red sauce at the airport. I've got my sick face on so no one sits next to me on the plane. *cough* *cough*

We were visiting friends yesterday in the South Bay for dinner and a movie. We ended up hanging out at Santana Row before the movie (specifically for Pink Berry). I'm actually quite amazed at how many people were there eating, drinking, shopping, etc. Guess the recession hasn't really hit Santana Row that much. I've noticed attendance at other mix-use malls like Emeryville's Bay Street has gone down compared to a few years ago.
I was thinking how much this place reminded me of a Vegas theme hotel, specifically the Venetian. Maybe it was the live music, the promenade, or the formulaic restaurant/bar/clubs. Actually, it was probably all the girls in skimpy dresses sloppily/drunkenly coming out of the bars.

Just got back from LeadsCon 2009 last night. Maybe it's the combination of too much food and drink or the fact that I'm always dehydrated in Vegas but I am wiped out. Overall though, it was a great show. Much thanks to Jay Weintraub, the founder of LeadsCon, for putting on another great show. Ike was invited to present Centrro and our latest service, KnowBeforeYouApply.com, at a spotlight session that highlighted a few companies that were doing more innovative things in the lead generation industry. We shared the stage with some great innovative companies - DiabeticConnect.com, BillShrink, Credit Karma, TrialPay, and Twilio. Below are some shots from that spotlight.
Though I always enjoy going to Vegas, it's a rough place to be. A combination of the dry air, too much drink, too much food, too little sleep can never end well. I'm glad to be back home and sleeping my own bed.

In Las Vegas for a couple of days for LeadsCon 2009 at the Mirage. We're staying at Paris. Got a couple of free rooms for the team. It's crazy to see LV so empty. Believe me, there's a reason they gave me free rooms (I'm no baller).
