King room at the Westin

Post by Rob Lorenzo » Thu Sep 15, 2011 7:34 am

For anyone who hasn't been to the TAXI Road Rally before and stayed at the Westin,

I made this very short video of my messy hotel room for my girlfriend back in UK.

Was very comfortable accommodation and great to be based 'on site'.

Bumped in to many significant individuals in the lift and the lobby. It's also great to be able to pop back to my room between sessions to freshen up, grab a drink or get more paper to write on!

Sadly, can't make it this year as my sister gets married that very weekend. Next year I hope!

All the same, thought I'd share this video. Might be useful to someone.

Rob, you're gonna miss the Rally just to attend your sister's wedding???
Odds are a least 50/50 that she'll be married again in the future. You can attend THAT one!
Come to the Rally, dude!

I know, I know. And (sadly) that's a very real statistic. They're a great couple tho' so hopin' they'll be just fine :D

Ever wished you could clone yourself and be in two places at once?

Hi Rob

Loved the video - your room looked just like mine!!

Bad luck about the clash of dates. I feel your pain. (A good friend of mine managed to get tickets for a Rugby World Cup match, but then another family member organised their wedding for the same night!! Her son is gutted!)

There's always next year.

Cheers

Thanks - I'm glad you liked it! I thought it might be helpful for those that haven't been before.

I think it's well worth staying at the hotel where the road rally is.

Thanks too for sharing my pain, FMStereo.

It's funny I'm still working from notes I made at the 2009 rally! That's how great it is.

There is always next year!
