Good god, that sounds like quite a trip. And a flood? In Vegas? Yeah, that’s more than a bit odd, huh?

Yes, there were women spontaneously dancing on some of the tables at DEF CON. It was a very… unusual conference. I thoroughly enjoyed the lock-picking demonstrations and I still wish I’d had the cash for a set of the lock picks. (“All right, I’ll just take these $300 burglar’s tools, then…”) I always forget about the potential detour to Cleveland too… and I left out most of the details in the Charlotte airport, such as all the phones being out of service when I tried to call the airline to reschedule my flight. This meant I had to wait in line which was the point at which the airline rep came out from behind the counter and started to get belligerent with the people waiting in line, very nearly resulting in a Darwin Award for the guy at the hands of the mob. Luckily, another airline rep came out and dragged him back before the pitchforks and torches came out. That was not the time for him to be brushing up on his poor customer service skills! There are a few other absurd vignettes, but this is the main thread of the story, written down for posterity. Now I can look back when the senility sets in and enjoy it all over again.

I’m sorry, table dances? You seem to have left out that detail every time you have recounted this particular story to your wife…

And you forgot one thing – you were supposed to go through Cleveland, called to tell me that, and THEN were changed to Dallas. Hence the “I’m in Dallas” “Wait, WHAT??” phone call.

I hate it when my DeLorean goes rogue and smashes my TARDIS. Damn.

I finally figured out that this was the only way they’d actually let you LEAVE.
