Get there first, or brush up on your Dale Carnegie.

Latte Land
Country Club Plaza, 4771 Jefferson, Kansas City

802.11g
SSID: Latteland

Well, I'm gratified that here, as opposed to their sister location to the east, they've taken to heart my advice to change the default SSID on their router. That and the shaded windows facing Jefferson
to the west are the good news. The could-be-better news is that those shades don't do an awful lot when there's direct sunlight coming through them, as there is right now (just before 5 p. m.), at least until you give your eyes a while to adapt. Also, this place is much cozier (read smaller) than the other one, and there is one-count 'em, one!-pair of power outlets, near the floor to the left of the southernmost window. That's why I suggest having read up on how to win friends and influence people before paying a visit, because one of those pair will be in use by whoever beat you here, and you'll have to turn on the charm to get them to agree to share, since that'll mean running your cord in front of them.

Or you could do like the lady to my right obviously did and charge your battery first, but how much fun would that be?
