En Route to Atlanta

I, along with a few other new media folks, have been invited to Atlanta for a brainstorming session by [A CLIENT] whom I can't discuss to to a non-disclosure agreement.

I think.

I guess I'll find out what I can and can't say over the course of the next few days.

Meanwhile, I see via Twitter that one of my fellow travelers has arrived at the hotel (a Marriott) and found there's no wireless connection.

What would possess a hotel in a major business center to NOT offer free wireless? I know how much this room costs. It's not cheap. And if I were booking the accommodations myself, I'd rather stay in a $30 fleatrap with free wireless. Connectivity is king.

[Arbitrary travel note: the grandmother playing a dice game with her (forty-something) kids at a nearby airport table has to stop soon, "so she can say her rosary"... Travel is great for people-watching. I could write a novel based on any one leg of a trip I've had this decade...]
