Starwood Platinum Upgrades

Posted by on December 12, 2008 1 comment

I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but almost every property that I stay at within starwood is making excuses that all their suites are under construction. Except Planet Hollywood. I have been at the W Chicago City center and got the same useless excuse as the Westin Dublin. I never get upgrades at the Sheraton Towers in Times Square, but heading there tomorrow, we’ll see what happens.

The funny thing is that I know employee’s who get upgraded without any question and never an excuse. I will play along for a little longer, but at some point I will give up on this sham. I am naming this the Platinum blow off, they think we have all tasted the cool aid and we will continue to fall for it.

SES Chicago

Posted by on December 12, 2008 1 comment

Well another round of SES is over in the warm 15 degree city of Chicago. There is a definite change in focus from the retail segment, they seemed to have slowed way down in experimenting around and really focusing on their businesses with this new economic climate. I am not really seeing a slow down in spending online, but then my clients have a decent SEO strategy and are doing quite well with it.

I think we will not be able to see how 2009 is going to look until the end of Q1. But this should be a very interesting year to come.

Pat Boone is a red neck racist

Pat Boone a country singer, has called the peaceful protests of prop 8 an act of terrorism! What the hell is wrong with these red neck racist hicks? No one should support this uneducated price of white trash. I would love to hear what he has to say about Obama, I am sure he calls him a radical Muslim leader, who is going to kill us all. Where did the land of the free open up to allowing these people to be figures in our country?
