Randoms of Dallas, Texas

 

I was in Dallas from August 16 – 20, 2009 and here are my observations:

 

• The DFW Airport is huge. OMG!
  
• Why is the Super Sh.uttl.e driving texting while driving? If the plane didn't kill me, this shuttle driver will. And his azz is slow as hell! I need to be at the hotel before 6 pm so I can register!
  
• Took over an hour to get to the hotel. I ain't doing this shuttle crap again.
  
• Hotel is huge.
  
• My damn TV doesn't work. Called guest services 2 times.
  
• Ate at Pappaduex with cousin and his wife. Lovely food. How the hell do you run out of Pepper shrimp and now you have to make it up?
  
• Back to hotel 3 hours later. TV still not working. UGH!
  
• Oh hell nawl! Call guest services trying to return their call while I was out. No answer.
  
• For 20 minutes.
  
• I stomp my azz downstairs and let them know I CANNOT SLEEP WITHOUT A TV! They fixed it 30 minutes later, by a female technician. That is what's up!
  
• Hell, I only slept 10 hours the whole trip.
  
• Did I mention the TV was a large flat screen television?
  
• There are too many people at this damn conference! Ugh!
  
• Dressed all kinds of ways. They should have filmed an episode of "What Not To Wear" there because folks don't know how to dress appropriately.
  
• $12.25 for a hamburger, chips and a small bottle water. Water was $2.25.
  
• Food at my hotel wasn't great. Went to the restaurant and things got lost in translation. I am still waiting on a straw.
  
• DART is just like the Metro in DC and the Marta in Atlanta, except you can ride without a ticket as long as no Dart officer gets on your train.
  
• Homeless folks hangout by the ticket machine. One guy said he got out of prison 12 days before and he wasn't a bum but he needed money for the shelter he stays in. His definition of a bum and mine were different. If it quack like a duck it is a duck.
  
• Dallas is sticky hot.
  
• I saw the grassy knolls.
  
• Dallas was cool but I could not wait to get into my own bed.
  
• Folks were friendly.
  
• Architecture was gorgeous.
  
• I'll be back…
