nightly update

UPA had a dinner reception tonight - and the food was surprisingly good. My coworker and I sat at a table with some interesting people. There was a lady from Buffalo who spent a few minutes making a case for her city, claiming that "it wasn't all that bad". Her point was that it is virtually devoid of natural disasters, and the snow, when it comes, can be pushed into the lake Eire. Then she said something to the effect of "some people go away for school, if they're lucky", and quickly caught herself.

Next to her was a guy who looked like Frylock from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" (I know this, and I don't even watch the show). The funny part was that he was trying to pick up the girl from Buffalo. But anyhoo, all good things come to an end, so my coworker and I made our way back to the hotel. We must've walked one block too far to the north, since we found ourselves in the red light district - with many friendly bouncers offering us a peek inside the very shady clubs. Just the thing that you want in the middle of your business trip.
