Looking back, I ...I definitely remember that trip! Looking back, I count it as probably the biggest "What the f*ck was I thinking" thing I ever did. Yes, it was the 70s, and hitchhiking was safer then, but still... Just recently, the friend I hitched with and I were talking about the experience and our memories of it. I'm glad I did it, though, crazy as it was. My mother never knew I did that, though. Even 40 years later, she'd have had a hard time with the idea that I'd done it, LOL.<br /><br />We did have fun together, didn't we? If you're coming to Chicago next year, remember that it's not very far to Ann Arbor. Depending on when it is, however, we may no longer be living in Michigan. We're moving to Arizona next year, have already bought a house in Prescott. Looking forward to getting away from the temperature extremes! I've become increasingly intolerant of both heat and cold.

You hitchhiked to see me in El Monte, remember? Hey, it was the '70's and it was possible to do stuff like that.

The Utah hotel looks fabulous, but $200.00 for a hotel night other places is high. This was probably a great deal in San Fran. What a coincidence that regulation on gay marriage happened just when you all were there. I can imagine the celebration, but your description of the "exposure" was a hoot. Sounds like a fun time. Hearing Gloria Seinem speak? How neat.

I had a great time. Our convention center is on the river but outside the French Quarter, so we didn't get to see anything exciting or unusual outside like you did. I would love to work the Chicago one too--my girls have been bugging me for a Chicago trip for the last year.

It's just not possible to "un-see" things, although sometimes you wish it were!<br /><br />We did a convention in SF one year (back when we were still doing such things, as opposed to maintaining a virtual presence), and stayed at an odd little hotel like the Utah. I rather enjoyed the uniqueness, but my business partner was not similarly impressed. It was far more affordable than anything else in the city, though!Catgoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031141581243854092noreply@blogger.com
