The Love Shack

So I hung out at RCC 2007 for most of the day today. After going to bed at 4 and waking up at 8 it took every last ounce of my willpower to get out of bed in the morning. I had quite an argument with myself before finally deciding to get the f up and go already! But I’m really glad I went!

I really didn’t know what to expect since I’d never been to anything quite like this before. It’s a very open, free-form conference, where people just kind of wander around and enjoy group discussions. Overall, it was a blast. Lots of very interesting conversation about a variety of topics, geeky and otherwise. Well, ok, all of them were geeky… some were just not necessarily computer-geeky.

But we had a heck of a discussion there and then a bunch of us decided to head out for dinner afterwards. Unfortunately, it meant I had to miss dancing for the evening (sorry Daniela!), but these are people who I wouldn’t really have many opportunities to share a dinner with so I had to go.

Had a great dinner (after a long, cold wait outside waiting for a table) and then headed out for a few drinks. After a few misadventures on the way, we finally went to the Lucky Lab for a few beers and yet more conversation. All in all, an excellent evening! Thanks to everyone who was there today and tonight, and I hope to see most of you again tomorrow!
