DevConnections Las Vegas, Day One (Pre-conf.)

When the clock-radio alarm goes off at 6:30AM, it is playing Katy Perry’s “Waking Up In Vegas.” Oddly, nowhere in that song does she discuss blearily performing one’s morning ablutions, then staggering downstairs to purchase an $11 plate of biscuits and gravy from a Nathan’s Hot Dogs stand and eat it while sitting under a copse of palm trees bent in half by the blustery wind, contemplating the world’s most bijou Sphinx and watching a rollercoaster dodge a miniature version of the Statue of Liberty. And yet that is exactly what I am doing.

The last leg of my flight last night was delayed an hour for, no kidding, a “bad, urine-like smell” in the cabin, which ultimately forced a plane change. The new plane was of a significantly different configuration, meaning that the poor gate agents had to reseat everyone — which would have been hard enough even if nearly a third of the passengers hadn’t been hardened Detroit-area pensioners in wheelchairs. I wound up snagging a first-class upgrade for $50, which I agonized over until they confirmed that I’d also get the extra 4000 frequent flier miles.

And let me tell you: first class is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the way flying is meant to be done. It’s such a categorically better experience — in every single way — that I’m now tempted to start using my miles to buy upgrades instead of tickets. Even leaving aside the obvious things, like the free mixed drinks and better meals and larger seats, the little touches — like having a dedicated stewardess for a cabin of twenty people — are surprisingly nice.

Sadly, the Grand was the very last stop on the (extremely sluggish) airport shuttle, so I didn’t hit my pillow until 1AM PST. Meaning that I am very bleary, indeed, and it’s taking me longer to write this than it should. I’ll pick up the thread again later.
