My wife and I were at the world for two weeks in Novemeber and spent our first several days staying at AKL. One night, about 10:30, maybe a bit later, we had walked from our room on the 5th floor to take the elevator down. I was standing in front of the doors and when they opened, Joe Rhode was standing all of 2 feet in front of me and before I had the chance to realize that I should say something to him he had already walked around the corner. So other than a smile, I didn't take that opportunity to meet him and thank him for everything he's given to the company.
It did bring up an interesting question. Why was Joe on the 5th floor of AKL at 10:30 on a tuesday night? My theory is that either he set up some friends with a room there and was visiting or maybe if he's working a long day at AK, perhaps they just give him a room for the night in the hotel to crash instead of driving home. Any thoughts on this? Anyhow, it was the last place I expected to see him, especially because we were not on the concierge level.
