It's 8:20a and I just got my seat. Left side, second main session near the camera. Naturally I can't see over the big and tall people. Taking pictures would be useless. Only two (oops, there's a third) non-descript women in viewing range. All in all... I got shitty seats. But who didn't? The entire front was already "protected before I even arrived. We're talking probably about a 1000 seats. Scoble was intermingling in the area... so I'm guessing they were press seats.
BTW, does anyone have any idea how weak I look blogging this event on a PowerBook? Sheesh. I've turned down the brightness so I can get longer battery life... maybe it'll last.
They are playing "I'm Coming Out" now. Usually the music is themed... so what the hell does this mean? Now they are playing the "To Be Real" song. Just curious - who's faking? Now "Stayin' Alive"... ahh, ahh, ahh Stayin' Aliiiivvvveeeeeee Oh baby!Now on to Sting's "Da do do do" song. "Their logic ties you up and rapes you"... who are they talking about?
Blah. Movie where Napoleon Dynamite slaps Bill Gates. Blah. Don Box arrives. Cool code demo's showing integration of XAML, Avalon, Indigo, Atlas in VS2005. More blah.
Microsoft is discounting a Magneto product... $850 off... and BT headset for $9.95. We get 30GB of bits.
Numerous women run out half way through. Must be a bladder thing.
ConnectionString girl leaves early (say 30mins).
