Stage diving at the IBM Software Symposium 2002
Today is the last day. Yesterday evening we were taken by coach to an industrial site and were herded into a large warehouse. (Usual purpose was go cart racing. The entrance was made into a tube on its side with smoke effects, and creatures, dressed as insects on stilts greeting the visitors.
In the warehouse we had food, good food, and drink and music. The organisers had set up 2 stages, and 3 bands played 4 sets. They were pretty good, and yes there was crowd surfing and stage diving at an IBM conference. The first band a jazz like, the rest were rock. When the bands finished at midnight a disco continued. I had had enough, and only live music is worth the effort, so of home to bed.
It was a pretty good event, and I was pretty hot and sweaty after event. Well done IBM.
Today I have three sessions I want to attend, just hope I do not snore too loudly.
Made it through the last sessions which were very interesting presentations of the new features of Websphere 5.0.
Then back in to town to buy some Sacher Torte for Rosemary. Good flight back.
