Full flight. Had a exit row seat on the aisle, so it wasn't too bad. Like many flights to a trade show, most of the people on flight are probably headed the same place, judging from the number of people reading the same types of materials.

737-300 for the equuipment, nothing interesting to say about that. United seems to only have two rows for 1st class on these planes now, which probably upsets everyone wanting to upgrade on the fight.

Very cloudy on take off and into the flight with a little turbulance. Not a nice night for flying. Probably just as well, need to read and work on some things this flight anyway.

At the airport I saw a plane painted for "Hooters Air". There's something absurd about seeing this as a real thing at an airport, since it looks like something out of a low budget comedy movie. Kind of like seeing a corporate jet marked "Van De Lay Industries" or a building for "Spacely Sprockets".

Silly waste of money.
