I love Las Vegas. Always have, always will. I'm the guy that argues with the locals and tells them that they don't know shit about their own town. Amazing food, amazing sites, beautiful people, great shopping - I could go on.

But this week in Las Vegas is fat nerds with backpacks on. This week in Las Vegas is cold and windy. This week is consumer electronics and weird people. My hands are cracked and busted from the cold and all the hand washing. I've never seen so many 3D glasses and people willing to wear them. Today I found myself eating lunch as far away as I could from the convention center so I could see normal people and hear normal conversations. I heard a convo about someone's house being taken by the bank. It was sad but I liked that conversation because it wasn't about TVs or 'what's goin' on tonight' or whatever. Oh, and by the way: Nothing is going on tonight. You're not getting into that party. No one knows you. No one likes you and that backpack.

I miss about 40% of my appointment times because the travel is so fucking fucked here. You should see the monorail lines. They're an hour long. I had appointments on the OTHER SIDE OF LAS VEGAS that were 30 minutes apart. It takes fucking 30 minutes to walk across the convention center! I show up late, apologize, or try to reschedule. These people sitting in these rooms all day have no idea.

Yuck. I'm going to go wash my hands again.

Hold in there Dale, love to coverage of CES so far.
Sounds pretty lame, hope it picks up for you.
Sounds like you've seen the other side of the blogging celebrity coin, and it's misery personified. Just know we all love the coverage, and we love you...
Vegas sucks. I've been about 5 times now and the city is just a dirty, crowded money pit with way too much neon lighting and oversized things.
Unfortunately, Vegas is all about the cabs. Unless you have a company card to get around, you're stuck with relying on the monorail/bus systems.
I'll give you a hug at MAGFest if you ever make it out of Las Vegas.
What... no picture of you in your backpack?? I am disappoint!!
Thanks for putting up with all this shit to deliver us JOURNALISM. Your sacrifices are appreciated.
Go get some Chickenjoy foo!
