I'm headed out to Las Vegas for the 2006 EMS EXPO.

I'm planning on attending two of the three conference days, and then spending the third day playing poker and attending the Jeff Beck concert at the House of Blues that night. I also want to get in some baking in the desert sun pool time.

The highlight of the trip for me will be the capnography class by Baruch Krauss.
