Tuesday night held a lot of options for nightlife.  They had the PDC Underground, the Mono event and then the vendor event at the conference center.  I had a bunch of people I wanted to meet up with at the vendor night, so I started my night there.  While hanging out near the DevelopMentor booth, my wife happens to call me, within about 30 seconds, Kent Tegels and an attendee comes up to me (while I’m still on the phone).  Kent has brought the attendee to me because he has a question about Reporting Services 2005, and he knows that this is one of Melissa’s areas.  Little did Kent know that I was one the phone with Melissa, so I just hand over the phone to him, and tell him to ask her himself.  I’m sure we freaked out the attendee.  I mean the poor guy had a question, and he gets an answer from some guys wife via a cell call.

By around 7:30PM, I decided to head back to the hotel to drop off my stuff, wash up and get ready for the Infulencers Party over in Hollywood.  I bumped into Rob Zelt, and we walked over to the Westin to meet up with Miguel Castro and split a cab over to the party.  The party was very interesting to say the least (women, and one guy, hanging from ropes and nets doing acrobatics).  After not running into Rory at all doing the conference, I finally had a chance to hang with him for a short while.  Rest assured, Rory is doing well.  By about 11:30PM I had enough to drink, was beat and I knew the cool stuff was going to be announced at the key note on Wed.

I finally realized that I’m just not going to have enough time to meet up and hang out with all the people I was looking forward to meeting.  There just isn’t enough time.  If I haven’t bumped into you, or haven’t spent much time with you, it isn’t anything personal, there is just too many people I want to hang with.
