Saturday September 25th, 2010 - Las Vegas, NV/Milwaukee, WI Las Vegas definitely has a short shelf life. For a few days it’s great fun, then it’s time to go home. I find New York to be that way too. Both places definitely have an energy, but it can wear a person down in a ...
Wednesday September 22nd, 2010 - Las Vegas, NV I love Las Vegas. In a perfect world, I’d have lived here at least for a while by now and laid down some kind of networking base to return to often. I wish I had more connections out here, but I totally don’t. Other than a few...
