Yes, I've had a few of those tonight. Unfortunately my crew is leaving at
7am tomorrow so they all had to hit the hay. Add the thunderstorm
"grounding me" and that's why I'm in my room (1217) watching pre-season
football - ha ha.

I'll head back out to the skybar and then the lobby bar once the game is
over.

Saturday, skybar we will have a couple!!!

Heck you can help me figure out how to get to Toyota field on Sunday too -
ha ha.
