i'm currently sitting in a lime green conference center where they are piping in ambient techno music 24 hours a day (it's quite strange at 7AM). most interesting is to watch the people around you. a conference buddy and i (someone i see on the road a lot) keep laughing b/c we'll suddenly catch ourselves completely distracted bobbing our heads or tapping our pant legs in time with the music. it's an unusual event for sure.
in other news, highlights of my trip so far include:
- a truly princess di moment in a taxi cab yesterday - if i'm ever to die in a firey taxi cab crash it will be here, in barcelona.
- a delicious dinner at pla - last night. gastro-porn, for sure.
- seeing carmindy in the bathroom at the newark airport. don't worry, it wasn't under some unusual senatorial, foot tapping, toilet paper confusion (wrong airport, i know, but i still wondered) but when i looked up and realized who was washing her hands next to me, i nearly squealed - a celeb siting to me for sure.
i'll give you some other updates from this trip as soon as i have more to say.
UPDATE:
2 things:
1) the so called paper towels in the restrooms are the consistency of kleenex which makes for kind of messy hand drying.
2) i just ate the "vegetarian fajitas" for lunch. they were actually black bean burritos covered with tomato sauce. hmmm? i prefer all the delcious carpaccio i've been eating.
and another...an attractive spanish man, driving a cart of fresh croissants just winked at me...le sigh.

You saw Carmindy! That is a brush with fame (pun so not intended).
Happy travels!
