Yeah, I think Fiji has earned brand loyalty from me for life for having so many bottles of water there.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of water, I ditched out of a panel early on Saturday to beat the elevator crowd up to the roof. Seeing that I had time to kill before the next session, I had a gin and tonic poolside. I was the most-dressed person there, but who cares?

I do beleive that you drank more water (I certainly couldn't remember quite that much detail, or made it so comedic in presentation), and echo your sentiments about the team that kept it stocked.

I always grouse about missing these sorts of events, but reading about them afterwards reminds me that a) my boozehound image nonwithstanding, I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking b) I'm really not very social, and c) I probably would have ditched the event after the first day and gone off in search of a really good po'boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
