(subject says enough) 
This will be my 4th, or so, and my last as manager of “Arizona Flash Platform Users Group”:http://www.gotoandstop.org. Nothing much to say here. Just looking forward to geeking out this year.
This is the day to be at the keynote. It was BY FAR a better showing. I’ll let you read on instead of iterating all of the hype I feel today. 
Read on.
Here we go…I put the rest of this post in the extended section so jump over and keep up! 
Alrighty….it is keynote time!! I’m sitting in the third row and am loving the vibe. I have some video of the room and opening preso (nice animation showing different apps, etc). This is a nice setup for sure.
**Quick Review of Yesterday**
I TA’d the _Adobe Flex and ColdFusion_ then went to the welcome reception (videos of “Robert Hoekman, JR”:http://www.rhjr.net and “Phillip Kerman”:http://www.phillipkerman.com coming soon). “Michael Hagel”:http://www.michaelhagel.com (who I’m also rooming with) and “Alan Rother”:http://alan.rotherfamily.net talked geek with me for a while as we mingled with a few other folks. The next thing on the list was the community dinner which was GREAT! “Tom Jordahl”:http://tjordahl.blogspot.com/ was at our table so we had some good CF talk going. The filet mignon was GREAT and the potatoes were AMAZING! Great dinner!
Well, I could go on but they are ramping up to get started so…new blog post coming in a sec!
I’m at the airport squeaking out this post before group A finishes and group B (my group) starts loading. I wanted to get here earlier and write this eloquent post about how my life is about to transcend…{insert scratched record noise}…WHATEVER…I’M GOING TO CHICAGO! lol
See you there! Keep an eye out for a lot of posts this week. I blog a lot when I’m at conferences and they usually include “WOW…THIS IS SWEET!” type posts. I’ll try to keep’em a bit to the point this time around.
Uh oh…group A is moving fast…gotta run! {insert Speedy Gonzalez running noise} lol
