Monday Aug 6

Returned Rental Car in Indy
Breezed through security
Checked Pineapple and Pearls for reservatio when Funsized is visiting, they are closed all the days he is in town! I have the WORST timing for restaurants.
My flight was delayed, and as a result I missed my connection in PHX
Scrambled to rebook, couldn’t on app, was trying online while also getting in line at customer service when I got notice they automatically rebooked me.
Got to Vegas, later than planned by a few hours but that meant I met SO at car rental, lovely to be together again
Got car then errands - Wholefoods (water, snacks, coffee, cola), total wine (scotch, gin, vodka), CVS (safety pins)

Check into hotel (Tuscany) always a lovely place

Get speaker badge, My first speaker badge. My First convention speaker patch was on stage at penn and teller with I Am The Cavalry (tesla coil dress)

I participated in a dry run (give your presentation and get feedback)
Absolutely valuable to get at equipment etc. learned i needed a bandaid for the next day for the wireless mic.
I of course had laptop issues (totally dead battery) luckily SO came to save me with his laptop (and i was prepared with presentation on usb stick)

Properly planned: local & USB and Cloud - PPT, PDF & Google Drive presentation. Also Printed. Had assorted A/V cables (dongle adapters and audio 3.5mm - that seems not good what is the proper way to feed into presenter mic). Didn’t have: charged battery (presentation podium no power) didn’t have: tape

Got my Feedback, and snacks
Missed rock (donor) badge pickup

Headed back to room and got dressed for Urbane party https://urbanesecurity.com/
Amazing and lovely party with great friends and people

Never enough time with friends
