UCON 96
the macromedia users conference...
shocking your world?
t u e s d a yby Johnny Lingo
We arrive in Emerald city this afternoon and per chance happen to bump into our old friend Dorothy M awaiting our limousine (those blue ones labeled "Super Shuttle". It is crisp and cool here (from where we come from a hot shower would be crisp and cool). And we set up in our penthouse perch for the next 3 days, overlooking the SOMA area (South Of MArket), a bare 1 block from moscone, the site of the Macromedia-fest.
So it is time to check out the Director Web Sky Cam (A QuickCam dangling outside the window)
from which we hope to dispatch pictures to go with those Direct-L names. This is our view of the land.
On the agenda is wandering over to Moscone to register, contemplate some chow, before arriving fashionably on time to the opening party at Club Townsend, where all the multimedia digiteria (is that a word?) will be there to flaunt their virtual personas.
The music was loud, the crowds pressed, the lights were dim, the food was abundant and free... yes, it was the opening party/event. Where was Zav when he promised drinks were on the house?
We spent most of the time milling about, wishing for the conference comfort of name-tag peering. Tomorrow, it all begins...
