hid kits
The typical routine for covering an auto show goes something like this:
Fly to the destination
Stuff a dirty cab with editors, photographers, and video producers along with all of their gear and carry-on luggage filled with wrinkled suits
Arrive at a hotel, which is really just a place to work, rest for a few hours, work, shower, and work
Prepare for the following day's debuts
Sleep for a few hours
Grab a quick morning shower, followed by another dirty ride to the [enter name here] Convention Center
Attend press conference after press conference, bumping and sometimes shoving your colleagues to get a better view of the stage or closer to that prized press kit, and subsequently dash to the media room (on the other end of the building, up a broken escalator and past a security guard who just has to see your special wrist band each and every time you enter), where you will perform a brain dump of all vehicle-related information you've just absorbed, go through countless steps to get the article onto the interwebs, and then fight 100 journalists for one of 15 mini sandwiches quietly delivered to the far end of the room. Why? Cuz they're free.
Repeat all the steps above
As you might've guessed, there are not a lot of opportunities to "see the city," "take in the surroundings," or "taste the local culture." In the midst of auto show season, with hotels and convention centers mirroring the last, it can actually become difficult to remember where exactly you are. Unless, that is, you're attending the Chicago Auto Show, where the wind whips you like a caffeinated jockey, the forecast calls for snow measured in feet, the cold air plays this little game called frostbite, and the show floor is decorated with plow trucks and wreckers. But come on, people -- this is Chicago. Those aren't show cars, they're a contingency plan.Still, I can't wait for day two…and more free food. Did I hear something about cake?
