Jenny and Tina at 2008 CES

Sunday, 13 Jan 2008 | Food, Friends

I was fortunate to meet Jenny and her best friend Tina at CES this year. I have known Jenny through her blog, but had never met since I live in Southern California and she lives in Rochester, New York. Jenny and Tina were representing Kodak at CES. They often get to go on trips together for work. It world be great to have a best friend to share experiences with as well.

I saw Jenny by herself first at the Venetian because Tina was working the Kodak booth at the time. We chatted for a while and took some pictures. It was so neat to finally meet Jenny. I feel like I know her pretty well through reading her blog. She was so sweet and gave me a neat book from the Eastman Kodak House, a bunch of Moo cards and stickers. :)

Jenny and Tina are huge In-N-Out burger fans, so I suggested going there for dinner after Tina was done working for the day. I picked them up at the Mirage where they were staying. We only had a little time because they had a business dinner later that evening at Smith & Wollensky. It's a treat for them to have In-N-Out food because there aren't any In-N-Out restaurants in New York.

I had a lovely time with them, albeit too short. Unfortunately, they were leaving the next day. Hopefully I'll meet up with them again. They every bit as nice and friendly as I imagined, if not more so. Thanks Jenny and Tina for making my Las Vegas stay a little brighter.

ida - Thanks! I can tell you Jenny and Tina are as wonderful in person as they seem through their blogs. I appreciate your comment. :)

Tina - It was great meeting you as well. It seems strange to say, but I miss you two, even though we just met. If only I lived closer. *sigh*
