Had a good time at the SC parties this evening.<\/p>\n
Started out in the cab line at the hotel. Long line, bunch of people going the same place I was. I flashed my invitations to the various parties and said “anyone going to one of these? They’re all next to each other.” The guys at the front of the line said “yeah, hop in.”<\/p>\n
On the way, they asked the taxi driver to take us to the National Bowling Stadium. One of them asked “is that a good time?” The cabbie paused and answered, “you want a good time, or you want bowling?” The sign on top of his cab advertised hookers. We opted for bowling.<\/p>\n
I wandered to the Intel party, where I hung out with a new friend. We talked about controlling your life by understanding what, within your perceptions, is absolute vs what is just your own overlay. Nice guy. Then, out of the blue, a sales rep with big boobs showed up. She wanted to talk about anything *except* reality. After listening for a few minutes, I said that I was going bowling. She said that she was having another drink. I told my new friend that he needed to make a choice … and then I went bowling alone. I hope he’s having a good night. I know I am:<\/p>\n
I bowled 5 games. Game 4, I bowled 159. Boo-yah.<\/p>\n
A friend I haven’t seen since high school offered me a ride home, pretty much out of the blue. <\/p>\n
