As we near the end of our trip I have come to the conclusion that time and space do not exist in Las Vegas. The architecture is very strange. Nothing seems real, everything is a replica of something else, you see the same 10-12 mega resorts on the horizon no matter where you go, there are no clocks in the casinos, and the signage is oddly placed literally blocks away from the actual location of the places that they represent. I never know where I am or what time it is, but I guess none of that matters in Vegas.
Oh well...let's get to the nuts and bolts.
Today we slept in until 10:00am. That's 1:00pm back in Louisville, KY. We also had muffins for breakfast, which is ironic because I have this weird dilemma where I can't stand the sound of the word muffin. I'm not sure why, I think I just needed to have a word to hate and that happened to be the one I settled on.
But I was able to conquer my fear in the process of ordering. Soon afterward we split up and played the field by attending two sessions within the same time frame. I went to a session about crowd sourcing:cheap content for a media-manic age while Alex and KB wend to a session about media promotion and social networking. Then we ate lunch at Chipotle and spent the rest of the day at the BEA. At the conference we also learned what other schools are doing in terms of opening the door to the integrated media lab. Meanwhile, Dr. Barnett went to a panel about integrity versus 'good' radio. We had some good conversations afterward about the things that we learned.
Tomorrow is the last day of the Conference. Check back for more on Saturday's events. Tonight we roam the city. I'll let you know if we get into any trouble.
