Sorry. I was overwhelmed by the flashing lights @ the Monster booth. Also, we'll have to negotiate on the music. While Buckwheat Zydeco is appropriately themed for New Orleans, they aren't edgy enough for me. :) @Paul I have no idea how he fits in… but I’ll find out!

She has her SPHR and is an associate director of HR at a local college. I hear lots of stories about what she does and how she serves her peeps. I am a little confused, though, about just how did Erik Estrada fit into your meeting with other HR professionals... Just wondering... I am married to an HR professional.

Kris said he would coordinate. :) @Breanne Were those iPod shirts yours? I just saw the I'M GONNA WIN A FREE IPOD shirt and thought, "No you're not." Did you get to visit the fairy? He was totes sweaty. @John You need a Workforce booth and an appearance by Green Day. Kris said he would coordinate. :)

You did a great job covering the key issues....cross-dressing fairies in booth, how hotels affect hair, and starbucks lines. The highlight of my SHRM experience was the Wine/Cheese/Chocolate bar at my hotel (Eno at Intercontinental Hotel). Thw low-point was missing Stedman visiting CPP's booth by less than 3 minutes. How does one miss Stedman for crissakes!!!!! Such a dissappointment. BTW, where's the love for CPP? No shout outs for our flashy luggage tag thingy and walking billboard t-shirts?! I mean, it's not a fairy with a beard...but it's something. Just catching up with your blog and the rest of the real world after SHRM.

Take free drinks and middle-aged women, and add Bourbon Street and flashing for beads. You get the picture ....
