Good Show

As I sit here waiting for my favorite airline to take me home, I'm reflecting on what a good week it was. I think about the great brands we spoke to, all of whom displayed genuine interest in joining (or at least considering) Pronto. The list is long - Gap, Home Depot, HP, Panasonic, PC Rush, Red Envelope, Orvis, Cymax (a Mercantila clone), Staples, Sears, eLuxury, and of course, The Succulent Wife (Lee confirms that this is not an adult site). New agencies like Resource Interactive and Camelot Communications. Old friends like Traffic Leader and GSI Commerce for brands like Dick's Sporting Goods and FogDog.
 
But no trip to Vegas would be complete without a little bit of revelry. Tao was a trip - the food was great, but the DJ was better. You know a DJ is good when I get excited about a Kelly Clarkson Song, and come oh-so-close to jumping on the dance floor with the rest of the crew for a little Jump Around. Partying at the Palms was next up, and would have been better had we been able to shed the clinger CEO from a competing CSE.
 
The gambling tally?
 
Motz - Down, though I don't trust his math after all those drinks
CJ - Down a bit, but didn't hit the tables too hard
Lee - What was the last count? $400 down? Did the Nickel Slots at the airport add to it?
Matt - Down $220 all week, but got it all back on the last night. Leaving Vegas with a $5 profit. Matt 1, Vegas 0
Foley - Well, some things need to stay in Vegas.
 
Sleep tally?
 
Adding up all hours slept by Pronto employees in Vegas, I think it comes out to 20 hours total. And I don't think Craig added to that amount last night.
 
 
Thanks to everyone for making this my best trip to Vegas. Had a blast doing it, and thrilled about the progress we made. The plane is boarding. See everyone back in the sales pit.
