So I leave this Wednesday for D.C. I’ll be seeing CPAC for the first time. Because of mitigating circumstances (girlfriend) I’ll miss most if not all the first day. No Biggie. My priorities at CPAC are thus:
1- See Mitt Romney speak.
2-Check out the vendors.
3-Mingle. Hope to pick some good brains.
Yes. I’d rather look at t-shirts than socialize. I hope to pick up a couple of obscure books as well.
My best friend, All American Mike, will be blogging in my place until Tuesday. I don’t feel like packing my GF’s laptop, and I don’t want to be gouged by my motel to use their business center, so I likely won’t be pooping out any posts after tomorrow night.
I’m going to start packing in earnest tomorrow. Tonight, I’m focusing on more immediate concerns, such as eating the food in my kitchen which will spoil if I leave it here over the weekend. The menu for the next two days is half a steak, one hamburger, half a chicken patty, some aging heart attack fries from KFC, a burger king patty/hockey puck, lettuce, and a cucumber, with chocolate milk and grapefruit juice to wash it down. It’s not going to increase my carbon footprint because they’re all leftovers, but I don’t feel bad because I know I’ll make up for it eating out every night for five days. Think globally, act with your stomach.
Later,
