Re: MVP Global Summit in April
The picture was actually taken in the EMP's upper floor where they have a recording studio type set up. It was not a part of the Microsoft Rock Band competition.

OIC. That makes a bit more sense! I did spend some time upstairs playing the keyboards for a while on the top floor.

Re: MVP Global Summit in April
Hi All!
I have been conspicuous in my silence, I guess - but only because I was away on an exciting vacation to New York, the Niagara Falls and Canada with no access to Internet.
(The absence of Internet for the first time in so many years was real bliss, I admit!).
The Microsoft MVP Summit was simply terrific. Meeting all those that made it for the first time and all those who were there again was a wonderful experience - one that made the long travel and the jet lag (I hate changing time zones... ) worth the effort.
I hope all of you had a good and safe journey back home. I missed being a part of that CG rock-band: that photo is really cool (the scan job too ).
Sometimes I wish these events were not localized to Redmond / Seattle alone - but, that might be termed "wishful thinking", at least for the moment.
Sid!

Anyone planning on going to Tech Ed in Orlando in June?

Re: MVP Global Summit in April
I would probably visit the TechEd, but at Europe. That may happen in November? Microsoft had not officially announced the venue and date the last time I looked up.
(However, in the sentence quoted above I was referring to the Microsoft MVP Summit... )

Re: MVP Global Summit in April
My current workload will prevent me from taking any time off (including weekends, evenings, etc) during June, so unless something drastic happens, I will not be at TechEd Orlando.
But TechEd Europe may tie in very well for a serious "Businesss Trip!!"....
If anyone gets details, please post them to me!!!!

Re: MVP Global Summit in April
I'm back from Seattle since thursday, but hadn't found the time yet to go online, till now
I really enjoyed the MVP Summit and will definitely attend next year again (work permitting of course).
And of course, it was great to finally meet some Codeguru fellows in real life.

Hi, Marc!
How did you like the Space Needle?
What else interesting did you see in Seattle?

Re: MVP Global Summit in April
The view from the top of the Space Needle was great, cold but great Dinner on the rotating restaurant was also very good. The restaurant rotates 360° in around 55 minutes. Originally it only took 30 minutes, but too many people were getting sick while eating and so they slowed it down
We also went to the Museum of Flight with lots of different planes. They had everything from old WWI planes to a real Concorde which you could even enter
The last day was pretty nice and then we did a small cruise of around 1,5 hour with nice views on the Seattle Skyline, harbor and distant mountains.
Other things were the Arboretum and Japanese Garden in Washington Park, shopping malls in South Seattle (since in Seattle itself, there are no real big shopping malls), Sience Museum and of course some more nice restaurants

Marc, you either missed the question or ignored it for good reason.
Let me quote it again...

Victor, you really don't expect Marc to spill the beans on a public forum like this one, do you?
Marc, it is OK. We understand you skirting the issue.

I've said it before and I'll repeat it now, to see interesting things you have to come to Croatia, especially during the summer
