Right now I'm standing at one of the teeny little laptop kiosks kindly provided by Autodesk to us 'losers' without some type of mobile media device. (Thanks Austin*****). Anyway, the first two days I had laringitis, which made it really hard to be communicative to some folks. I even was interviewed on the first day so I have a really bad 2 seconands worth of media with my raspy sexy voice. The conference was huge, over 8,500 people, what was amazing, was that there were hardly any lines for waiting. The wait staff were very professional at the Venetian and were lined up each morning to usher us along to the food lines. When I say usher, think more linebacker or defense, because if you tried to hop into a line that wasn't "open", that would usher you back out into the main herd.
The days are long, going from 6:30-9:30 at night with classes and events. The food is fine, and they do offer snacks throughout the day to appease the unruly mass. The best class was taught by an engineer who works at Disney Imagineering. What a great guy, he was very witty and kept the class engaged by asking silly questions, such as "What was the name of Super girls super cat????" If you don't know, look it up! LOL! Also, I met one of the artists who worked on the cars for Fast and the Furious "Eddie Paul". He was a neat guy. I also met Jay S. (last name to come) who designed animation for Wall E.
All in all, a very informative conference. I can't wait to try and talk the upper management into coming next year. Very worth it, especially the networking. AU Rocks, here's to next year....
