TechEd '04: Day -1
Had an a good flight into San Diego yesterday and met with Michael Earls at the Airport. We made a quick stop at BevMo and then hit the hotel. I have to say this place is very neat but maybe just a little too edge for folks like me.

They kind of looked funny at us last night when we came back from the Yardhouse, and Joe Olsen reported that he was told that "Sir, we have a dresscode" by the door man.
There was a nice little black box in my room, too. I assume it was a gift from Microsoft.

Is it an XBOX? Is it a bunch of Geek goodies? What of what did my little box hold?

Oh sweet -- healthy muchies and can of "Rockstar energy drink." Just one problem though...

Ewwwwwwwwww!
It's nice getting to meet folks like Michael, so I've made sure to take advantage of it. We went to he Yardhouse for a geek chow and later had a little gathering in my room: Joe Olsen, Michael, Adam Kinney and Erik Porter. I'm looking forward to more such gatherings. If you're here, look me up, W Hotel, room 924.
