Hello from Las Vegas\u2026 I got here late afternoon after leaving gabe’s this morning. It was so much fun visiting gabe and helping him Fix up the house. Still a lot to be done\u2026 But I’m really proud of all of the stuff we got done. (Look at all the scratched off items on our list)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I got to Vegas about 6 PM just in time to Register for the conference I’m speaking at\u2026 And go down and see the venue. It’s always important to me to be able to see the room I’m speaking in\u2026 It makes me 6% less nervous once I’ve seen the room \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A good sign is that I ran into my friend Karla about 30 seconds after I arrived.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From there I was able to go to the poster session and I am mediately started running into friends. I hadn’t been at this conference in probably eight years\u2026 But there were so many familiar faces<\/p>\n

It felt like home sort of<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoyed running into old friends Nagu and Viresh. .. Something about running into old friends makes me also less nervous<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The three of us Took an Uber (a Tesla driven by a Bernie sanders fan !) To a party held by one of the suppliers. It was in a building where I had seen one of the best concerts of my life ( Phil Lesh) in 2015 . It brought back great memories Of hanging out there with my friend Shmuel And running into my friend Ricky from Vermont totally randomly<\/p>\n

There were so many people there tonight that I knew that it was overwhelming. I knew I had to get a good nights sleep<\/p>\n

so I did a quick circulation and then we headed out<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OK\u2026 I have to wake up early for my talk. So I’m going to sign off now. More tomorrow<\/p>\n

Nite all, nite Sam<\/p>\n
