I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Tom and I went to one of our fave cocktail bars, Twelve Mile Limit, which is off the beaten path in Mid-City, has amazing hand crafted affordable cocktails ($6-8 rather than $10-13), BBQ, doberge cake, kickass jukebox, and Game Show Happy Hour, during which all house cocktails and draft beers are $1 between 5-7pm when we all watch Cash Cab, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune.

It was a much needed nice night out. I got a couple of free drinks due to my pimping the bar in my beer blog's Beer Geek Tour of MidCity: [link]

I need to take as much joy in this city as I can, it's the only thing keeping me sane. It's not hard to do, 'cause of the awesome, but it does involve getting off the couch, which can be a challenge.

Nora, I'm glad you get so much joy out of your new city. You deserve it.

It seems I'm in Vegas. The hotel that the conference is at is not near anything. And airport walking wore me out. Blargh.

That's why they've got cabs in Vegas.

Yeah. Trying to be cheap. Now waiting on arrival of fellow SoCal person. I think I'll explore where the conference stuff is, as I won't be thinking well at 7:30am.

Does your hotel participate in any of the free shuttle setups that go to the Strip? I would think there would be something.

Which hotel do they have you at?

Cabs are wicked expensive there. As a result, I spent a lot of time walking and STILL spent a bazillion on cabs.

Plus right now it's probably so hot in Vegas you don't want to walk anywhere!

Nora, what is doberge cake?

I'm at the Las Vegas Hilton. I can see the strip out my east facing window, and it's not close! We kicked around the hotel tonight. Tomorrow is cocktail and dinner provided by Yamaha, so we shall see if need to head out. And yes, it is wicked hot. 110° in the shade.

We have a ceiling fan in our dining room! We had asked for one because our dining room light was frayed and unusable and our landlord had said we could buy one or he would replace the light with a fixture of his choosing. We told him to just put what he wanted there because we didn't want to pay for something that we would have to take down when we moved, and he surprisingly chose a ceiling fan! It's probably the cheapest model they had at Home Depot, but it's something.
