Google I/O San Francisco Part 3

After dinner we headed back to Moscone West. The room where the keynote address took place was transformed to a huge "multi-purpose" room. There was a DJ playing rock (?) music. Spotlight everywhere. Some people were dancing - no, wait, they were just jerking their bodies following the rhythms. Bottomless alcohol was served - full bar selection: red & white wines, domestic, foreign, and microbrewery beers. Full buffet with cooked-to-order pasta, sushi, chow-mein in Chinese takeout boxes, and many others.

Besides music, food, and drinks, there were many free arcade video games, Nintendo Wii games, pool tables, air-hockey tables, etc.

A few random thoughts:

1. This is truly a 'geeks' conference. Have you ever been to a disco where laptops are popped open and back-packs are still on shoulders?

2. We found out why we have to pay $300 a pop to sign up for this conference.

3. I really enjoyed the arcade games!

4. Stephen and Kevin left early. I stayed longer. I had a glass of red wine and an MGD. At one point I was just sitting on a sofa with a beer in my hand enjoying the music and people watching. (Well, with 95 to 5 ratio, there wasn't much "people watching").

I'm back in my hotel room now and again watching the Cantonese news on the LCD HDTV.
