Live from Chicago, some random thoughts on the heat of the weekend thusfar. (Well, as live as can be expected after a night that began withthree glasses of red wine on an empty stomach and ended--many, manyhours of handshaking and talking and dancing later--with a bang when aninconvenient table decided to place itself in my path. Bruised?Mortified? Why, yes I am.)
This...is a Lesser Hyatt
Forone thing, the Proper Hyatt, the convention center one, is situated onthe premises, no cabbing required. The overflow Hyatt, on the otherhand, is a ten-minute twenty-minute twenty-five minute cab ride away. In a vehicle that may or may not beair-conditioned, much to the chagrin of my freshly-pressed white shirt.It seems to me there should be a discount for passengers who get stuck(and with dark vinyl seats in the summertime, you do tend to get stuck)taking one of the saunas-on-wheels. There isn't.
