TFD Sea10 – the fun starts now (day -1)
Yep, it is now 23:00 (11pm for those who have trouble deciphering 23:00 
) and I am sitting in my hotel room. Quickly jotting down some words to keep a record of my TechFieldDay Seattle 2010 adventure, start to finish.
Started my journey at 19:53 saying goodbye to my loved ones. Spend a couple of hours in the train, twittering and reading and working my way to a backlog of personal documents. The train didn’t go at its regular speed, due to planned maintenance work on the railroad tracks and some new tracks being laid out, so my trip didn’t start of a full speed. The flight will probably make up by going supersonic (zzzZZzzzzzZZZzz, oh darn, I am already dreaming, must be tired)…
I checked in to the citizenM (@citizenM) hotel and was kinda surprised by the funkiness of the rooms. Coming through the door, you’ll immediately notice the two large circles in the floor. One is the shower floor, and the other is the toilet area. So no separate bathroom here (budget part of the citizenM mantra). It looks like I have two Star Trek transporter pads in my room. I can transport from shower to toilet, and back.
In the far end of the room there is a huge bed. It’s not made, but the pillows and covers are “somewhat” folded on the bed. What more do you want for a short stay, during which all you want is get some sleep.
Another eye catcher is the Philips Pronto TSU9300 remote control sitting on the nightstand.
This would probably be the luxury part of the citizenM mantra.
It’s programmed to control the alarmclock, lights (adjust room lighting colors to match your mood), music, TV set and the room temperature setting.
All this, just to be able to catch your plane in time tomorrow morning. See, the fun starts now 
I think I’ll go and see how funky the bar is.
