PDC Day 0 Pictures

I told myself as soon as i finished uploading these pictures, i can grab breakfast. Hopefully i have just enough energy to make this understandable. =D

I attended the WomenBuild event and sat next to Frank Arrigo.

I had to take pictures of the people taking pictures.

The picture below is my Lego representation of Super Mario World’s Luigi character depicted in Silverlight.

After the event, i went to the book store to see my book on the shelf for the first time.

After dinner with Doug Holland and C++ MVP Carl (didn’t catch your last night), Beth Massi and Yag and I went out to Howl at the Moon. The piano player was cheering Geaux Saints, so i knew he had lived in New Orleans at some point. So, i requested the Mardi Gras Mambo in my New Orleans honor. He says, “oh, i’ve been called out.” He did a great job.

Thanks to Yag, I was word of the day to celebrate the book.

Howl at the Moon

Unless they've shaken up the C++MVPs since they booted me, that was probably Carl Daniel (singular)
