MMS – Arrival
After an uneventful flight I’ve arrived (complete with luggage!) in Vegas.
The Venetian continues in the “high-price hotel money-grab” by charging for internet. As I recall last year it was free: crappy, but free. Since my AT&T air card seems firm in it’s desire to blue-screen my laptop, I’ll be hanging in the alumni lounge or comm-net area A LOT more this year.
The Bag: a briefcase-style bag sponsored by Secure-Vantage. Not bad, but I won’t be retiring last years bag just yet.
The Swag: No Powershell book this year, just the usual assortment of propaganda, notebooks, and a pen or two. And the obligatory water bottle that my son will lose in less than two weeks.
Alumni Shirt: Just like last years, except for the date. One more and I’ll be able to go a full work week in black Microsoft polos that say something about System Center on them. That’s my goal.
After a breakfast of coffee and Dayquill (tm): working from the alumni lounge, finishing up some office stuff. Then off to the races!
