Thanks for the report HLL. I was there with you, at the Hilton NY. One night I rode the elevator for a few hours to watch the convention rerun just to hear of Zell Miller again. He was awesome. My roomies were sleeping.
Our Texas delegation was invited to the floor of the NYSE one of the first nights. It was just AWESOME. We were able to walk around freely. The food was fantastic and we had our pictures taken by the clock or on the floor. Am still in awe of this event.
Thanks for your report. I'm sorry I wasn't aware of the FR breakfast. We went to Fox & Friends that morning and got on TV for a little while.
Maybe you saw me in the hotel. I had a BUSH bumper sticker on the front of a straw hat with a freeper pin that said "Never trust Democrats with National Security."
I didn't see you at the hotel, but then again you know how many people were there.
I had good and bad from the Hilton. Mostly good. Our first room was a big corner room with a view of the park, but it smelled bad. When I got home at around 2am after my first party on Sunday I walked near the window and the floor was soaking wet. All my leather luggage was sopping.
The next morning I called down to the desk and they sent up a mechanic for the air conditioner which was leaking, and then an insurance guy came up to fill out a claim and take photos of my luggage.
We were then moved up to a beautiful suite on a higher floor, still had a view of the park, and this time we had comfy feather beds.
The best part was when I got my bill. I knew that they were going to compensate me for the room, but I ended up being billed $62.50 a night!!!
