Whoa, this puppy’s paws are sore. Rod Bowman (ISST SWAT), his wife and mine attacked the strip today. Seeing no less than a dozen hotels and casinos (felt that way at least), shopping malls, art on ceilings of Venetian, Cesars Palace, Belagio, Wynn, etc. Way too much walking, but we braved the rain and had a great time. Posting some of the photos taken on my Blackberry of our adventures and funny stuff seen in Las Vegas here. I’ll try and add some to this Pulse Flickr group as well here.
Ran into some of the first IBMers I’ve seen trickling in- Naeem Altaf, Ben Stern, Heath Newburn. A business partner whom I helped out last year grabbed me and said our work helped them close a big Tivoli Netcool/Proviso (not sure of new name) deal. I love that kind of feedback!
We ate at a great Mexican place in the Venetian area and at the Grand Wok and Sushi Bar in the MGM for dinner. Great sushi and Navy talk with Rod’s boss Bill Davis who retired after 20 years in the Navy.
I’m looking forward to taking the wife to the Ka show tonight. Tiffany Winman said it was great! Rod says we should go to the Rio later tonight so non-stop action so far.
I’ll be at the business partner event and then in the demo booths for the kick off reception tomorrow evening. Track me down and let’s talk BSM. Ask for your sticker!
