last night was very funny. smashmouth weren’t particularly good but i found it
endlessly amusing that these guys were trying to appear like hard rockers after
being introduced by a 40 year old programming executive from ibm.
after the party i headed back to the hotel which is four blocks (about 1.5
miles) from the conference centre. san francisco hotels cost an absolute
fortune so mine is in a pretty rough area, it’s fine during the day but last
night was particularly bad. i have never felt threatened before in the states
but i was glad when i got into the lobby last night.
last session this morning finishes at midday so i have a the rest of the day to
play with. thought i might go to the museum of modern art to try and get my
brain back in gear. four days of sessions cramming information into your head
is enough for anyone.
