As I wrote on my journalism blog, I made it to Tempe in one piece. That’s apparently not a given, considering the recent relevations that the FAA had gotten so cozy with Southwest that bureaucrats even threatened a whistle-blower’s family.
Never thought I’d say, “Good thing I’m on Delta.”
So I made it to my hotel, the Twin Palms at Arizona State University. It’s your run-of-the-mill-type hotel, except for the peach doors, parrots in the lobby and dogs running around. I take it they belong to the owners. Woof.
It’s right across the street from ASU, which means I was able to save the company money by not renting a car. I’m here for IRE’s advanced statistics workshop. I’m stoked because I can learn some SPSS skillz, and pick up some advanced statistics learningzzz, a skill in which I think I’m lacking.
I forgot to bring my camera, so I won’t get any good pictures. But I’ll take a few with my crappy cell phone camera.
Time to get ready.
Edit: I am an idiot and had to put in the correct federal agency.

Southwest has ALWAYS sucked the big one. My dad gave me an earful on this stuff, if he didn’t send you the emails also.
Parrots? Ohhh, you gotta teach ‘em to say your mom.

No. You need to send me the e-mails, too.
