The pre-AU day has come to a close - finally.
My day started at 5am, which is like any other day for me - except I was off to the airport instead of the C-Train. Security screening at the airport was painless. There was only one 3D scanner and it wasn't in the line I got sent to so I didn't have to decide if I should get an abnormal dose of radiation or get groped by some disgruntalled security guard. Believe me, that is a great start to your day when it's 7am.
Mike briefly touched on how ridiculous getting the DIALOG group together was. After a half hour, I felt that herding a room full of cats would have been quicker. Let's put this into perspective - I don't have a cell phone, Andrew has a cell phone but it's not a Blackberry, and Reggie has a Blackberry but the only person who's met him previously is Mike.
After walking for what seems like eternity at the Mandalay Bay, we arrived at the AU regstration area. I was quite impressed with the registration process and thought it was painless. You hop onto one of a dozen laptops available and punch in your email adress you signed up with. Hit go and the next thing you know, your picking up your badge. One more line and we're getting some free Autodesk swag. If it wasn't for Mike holding us up, we would could have easily been done in 5-10 minutes.
The rest of the day involved some shopping, good food and lots of laughs. This will be an interestng week - we'll see how it turns out.
