So I'm going to the Microsoft Professional Developer's conference in L.A. next week - anyone else going to be there? Looks like the attendee party will be pretty worthwhile - http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/aparty.aspx

wow! that sounds awesome!

it's also making me laugh to think about a bunch of geeks in khakis and plaid oxford shirts with pocket protectors going nuts in there

reminds me of the Las Vegas scene in Microserfs

Yeah, ha ha! Geeks! Those guys are so- wait a minute...

You'd be surprised at how some of these people can cut loose when the booze starts flowing freely... but there will always be the ones who skip the party so they can stay back in the hotel & do a little more research on a new API or try to break into the hotel's network.
