Legit Reviews Made It To CES

Post by Apoptosis »

We had bad ice in St. Louis last night and we missed our 7am direct flight to Las Vegas, but Justin, Brian and I all made it on another flight that had to fly into Dallas. Here is a shot of the plane being desiced around 8am yesterday:

Never good seeing them blasting off ice, but it was very thin.

Once we got up over 30,000 feet the sky cleared up and the sun was rising!

We eventually made it to Vegas four hours late, but the taxi line was empty as you can see from the picture above. This is my 7th year attending CES and this was the only year I didn't see a line at the airport and I always show up before the show starts. Show coverage starts today, so enjoy it!

When it took me almost 2 hours to get to work yesterday all I could think of was Nate's not getting out of town on time.

Have fun

Glad you made it there safely...Driving HOME from the airport (away from the city) was so much easier than driving TO the airport yesterday morning!

Could be a resemblance there. Bet Brian had a better view for gaming!
