Fairmont

Today was a pretty sweet day. I had a conference at the Palliser. There was couple of pretty cool talks. The most interesting one was about the reclamation of a shooting range just south of Edmonton. There were lead issues, but they cleaned up and are turning the property into a sports complex. Very cool.

The lunch at the Palliser was pretty amazing. It was a steak with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. Wow, yum. Desert was seriously amazing too. I can't remember what it was called. I could have called it "amazing chocolate desert with more chocolate in it that looks like a giant toblerone piece". DELICIOUS.

Any here is the highlight:
There is a door prize at the end of the conference, AND I WON!!!!! The reason I'm stoked about that is the prize is a $250 gift certificate at any Fairmont Hotel. How much does that KICK ASS?

The funny thing was that I actually didn't bring a business card to put in the draw. I decided to leave my bag at home today, and just bring my wallet. So I didn't have one on me. When they announced the prize, I figured I had to enter somehow. So I was going to write my name and company on a piece of paper (if I could find one). Then I remember when I showed up, that was exactly what they had given me - in the form of a name tag. So I ended that. ;)

I felt a bit like an idiot on a game show, because I made no attempt to conceal how STOKED I was to win. WOOHOO.
