"I've only been here four minutes BUT...

i like this [cnn] party better than the roscor party." "there. i said it and i don't regret it." to paraphrase Dan Akroyd imitating Tom Snyder. the luxor's lax room has that elusive extra added chic that the imperial palace ball room just doesn't.

let's face it: NAB is about the schmooze... soft sell, hard sell... whatever it takes to keep your brand in good stead with clients past, present & future. and apparently, having lavish parties is an effective schmooze tool.

i felt quite like a party crasher; a production geek at the journos' party.

meet and eat... cocktail food, of course, with some nice attendees; Andrew Humphrey (L-weather anchor for Local4 NBC in Detroit), Charlotte Humphrey & Jim Nagy (R-news director, KCSG in St. George, UT).

after the waitstaff blew out the sterno cans under the chicken-kabobs. Kool & the Gang hit the stage. (it's a .mov file, so if it doesn't play... tough).

while i don't know who was at roscor's party this time... i'll bet that they weren't better than K&tG.

guess, i need to say thanks to Mark Koehn... if he hadn't lobbied to get the CNN feed back, probably no CNN party for me. so, thanks Mark!

more on today's developments (and there were plenty of 'em) later. right now=sleep.

Margo & Marlone, i'll be home soon. love, me.
