Erika and I arrived in Dallas for TechEd 2003 yesterday (6/1/03). We got checked into out hotel, then went and registered at TechEd. We took a look around the Exhibit Hall as they were setting it up. Will checking e-mail we bumped into Stacey G. so we got the finall confirmation on the "Community Influencer" party.
We headed back to the hotel, got cleaned up and got ahold of Donny Mack, who had just arrived in Dallas. E and I headed back to the convention center where we met dropped into the Software Legends panel to say "Hi" to Eric Ewing, Billy Hollis, Yassuer, Juval, Don Box and Kieth Pleas.
We caught a bus to the Hyatt Hotel where we met up with Paul D. Sheriff, Jonathan Goodyear, Dene Welsch, and a host of others, including the overly energetic Steve Forte. From there we headed to the Circle R Ranch for a real live Texas BBQ.
Post BBQ we headed to a hotel forĀ a bash. The hotel suite was packed with poeple, champagne, wine and beer - and we felt right at home :).
Made it back to our Hotel around 2:00 AM (other went to the Dragon Fly bar). Now its off to the first "real" day of TechEd.
