Day 3 of retailer summit. Vegas has been wonderful. No real scoops, but having a great time. Saw LOVE. Dined at rumjungle. Played WOW minis demo. Useful panels.

Or one of them, anyway. Taken at Rumjungle.

• 00:08 Note: the abbreviation is for "Step It Up and Dance," not "Suck it up and deal." Not unlike when FTW became "For The Win" all of a sudden. #

• 13:03 @UmbralEchoes At this point, I think I want to randomly link someone to a Rick *Springfield* video. "Bop 'Til You Drop," maybe. #

• 21:34 Watching the Bravo Top Chef/SIUAD marathon with Cate while noshing on Chinese food. Life tends not to suck. #
• 22:15 They're using "Cum On Feel The Noize" to sell frozen french fries now. This is not acceptable. #
• 22:24 @LeDiva Well, my associations with Meat Loaf differ from those with Quiet Riot. Thank you for that, regardless. #

As stolen from sassette726: WLIR (aka WDRE) is now off the air. Not only do I remember listening to it constantly at Adelphi, but I have memories of Elayne attaching tin foil to the radio antenna in our apartment in the Bronx so that she could tune it in when she was a teenager and I was... somewhat younger than that.
