![]() It all comes back to the simple things like tips, hotdogs and programs - all so much easier with cash. In temporary event settings, cash remains king, and it was easy to spot the ATMs - just look for the lines forming in front of them. Hand over cash and you could arrange for just about anything you wanted. We ran into a similar situation last year at Sonoma watching the Indy cars lap the track at Sears Point. As this was a case of "dry camping" without any hookups, you could schedule delivery of fresh water to fill your tanks and have another truck come and empty all your gray and black tanks. This being autumn and fall colors, we elected to drive our company "command center" and set up shop on the grounds next to the field that was home to the balloons. Definitely, one more item checked off the bucket list. Reports of the day suggest that upwards of 600 hot air balloons participated and the mass ascension was a sight to behold. More importantly, perhaps, the time spent in Albuquerque meant we were able to watch the hot air balloon fiesta. ![]() Last month business took my wife, Margo, and me to the city of Albuquerque, where we met with former colleagues to chat about our former times together - yes, the good old days - and argue over where the industry is headed. As much as has been written about the death of cash, there seems to be little evidence of any major change in the status quo. ![]()
