TODAY: I'm camped out in the LAX Hilton lobby for the next several hours, then doing some focus groups, then catching a late flight over to Vegas for the weekend. This lobby is bustling with international flight crews. What a subculture! A whole lot of jet-setting young people eyeing one another and speaking with funny accents. Meanwhile I'm trying to stay awake, not eat too many pretzels, and imagine myself staying up past midnight at the blackjack table.
