This was the first day of the conference, so I got up a bit early, walked down to the Target that I saw about a mile from Nick’s house to grab a towel for showering, and then walked back. This was all in the pouring down rain mind you, which was rather fun with no umbrella—as you can probably imagine. Whatever though, the nice hot shower that followed was worth all of the trouble.
I got down to the Austin Convention Center, got checked in and received my badge pretty quickly, and then headed off to the first presentation. Feel free to read my corresponding presentation notes, as I do not wish to paraphrase or duplicate them here—this is more of the personal side of my trip.
Hit up Wheatsville Co-op, had popcorn tofu and southern fried tofu and bought a few snacks and breakfast items for the coming days. Nick rolled through and picked me up, then we jetted to Mother’s where we both had Vegan lasagna (which I forgot to take a picture of, my b). He also ordered a slice of chocolate cake for dessert, which was complimented by a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie—totally amazing by the way.
He dropped me off at his crib because he had a date with a lady friend. I worked on cleaning up my notes and replying to some emails. After waking up with my laptop on my chest. I decided that it must be time to turn in, regardless of the fact that it was only about 10p PST—I was totally drained for some reason.
I woke up to Nick standing over me some time later asking, “Dude, are you awake?”
“Grumble grumble… huh? what?” I replied.
“Oh, sorry dude, nevermind—go back to sleep.”
And so I did.
