it is 7:43 AM, Thursday, APR 28, 2022, PDT. When the sun rose, a stream of direct sunlight brightened significantly the outline of my closed drape; a lighting guy, while still sleeping peacefully, instantly registered the subtle change to the environment; time to make my tapwater caffeine fix & begin my busy day, documenting the NFL Draft.
When my lunch break came[around 3:30 PM], I ventured out onto the Strip, fought my way through the beefed-up pedestrian flow, up towards the FLAMINGO HOTEL & CASINO, hoping for a quiet restaurant, which this crowd of sports fanatics had somehow passed up. I found nothing there, and continued northward, until I was at FLYLINQ; overhead were the cables heading east, high over a street lined with eateries. There were lines awaiting available seating, at well-past normal lunch hours, and plenty-early for dinner reservations. Many had been seated cafe-style out-of-doors, even though the wind was howling & pedestrians were holding their bill-caps down onto their heads. The only quiet spot I had found, was in a 2nd-tier Mexican cuisine emporium, that had closed-down that part of the dining room.
The broadcast of the draft procedure was about to go ON AIR, and at VIRGILS BBQ, there was a big screen with the ESPN feed; the Carolina-style smoked butt was emitting an attractive scent; I was looking at a 20/minute wait for a seat inside.
