I wonder if they’ll let me stay

Greetings from the ultra-posh lobby of the W Hotel in Union Square, where I’m awaiting a sit-down with U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, and where soothing sitar-dominant music is playing above.
A couple of quick observations:
The water bottles here are shaped like small time capsules, which is fitting since the entire hotel looks like it’s out of the year 2156.
I am pretty sure I’m the only person here who owns clothing from Old Navy. Keep that down, because I’m also pretty sure if security found out, I’d be escorted out the front door.
I’m excited for my interview with Ogilvy, who is one of the game’s truly engaging personalities, and who naturally has a link to our area given his win at Winged Foot. That said, I’m guessing I’m going to have to come up with something original beyond “How has your life changed since the Open?” which he has invariably been asked 27,000 times over the past year.
Among the new possibilities: “What do you think of this belt? I bought it at Old Navy..”
More later…
