Walgreens is always one of my first stops - in addition to water and chapstick, I like to stock up on some caffeine and quick snacks/Power Bars.

Why wouldn't it be OK? :)

I think Jamie was forever jinxed after he showed up years ago to Affiliate Summit with his Chris Gaines haircut. http://aff.bz/rXRyLr

We'll miss you - have fun with Clyde the Glide.

I think we can sadly chalk up the lack of interest and activity among affiliates to complacency. A small minority of affiliates have taken the time to contact their local representatives and speak out against these bills. It seems most people are counting on somebody else to fight the fight.

Hey Zac - you were at Affiliate Summit? I didn't see you.
My recent post Earthquake in NYC, @GordonRamsay01 Hates Cowboys, and Affiliate Summit East 2011 Recap

I had the best intentions in NYC, too, but I ate worse than usual and didn't exercise at all. Bad Shawn.

But year, that Shepherd's Pie was tasty. And I don't know if the street meat guy uses the fountain water or not, but the hot grill hopefully burns away the bad stuff. That's my grilling theory each time I start up the grill.

Congrats on a minimal gain with all of the fun, tasty stuff available there.

Great advice - so much opportunity if you just dive in and take advantage. I never did make it to that cupcake stand, but I heard Daniel got sick, so maybe that's a good thing.

Great to see you and hang out. I think street meat in a cowboy hat could well be a once in a lifetime experience. I never had the Old Castle burger, but I had Shepherds Pie last Friday night. Not sure if it was or some late night street meat that night, but I felt sick as a dog for the first half of Saturday.

I loved Wil's keynote, too. I'm anxious to try his ideas about scholarships and badges for links.

One thing to consider with bringing food - there is a Duane Reade (similar to Walgreens) about 2 blocks north of the Hilton on 6th Avenue.

That's where I go to get supplies for the room, especially shakes that could explode in baggage, and sometimes protein bars get crushed in a suitcase.

Fun episode - Vinny, I think you need to have some of my special wings that start in the over and finish up on the grill. They're cooked in a bat of beer and spices before I crisp them up. A vegan would love them!
