CFUNITED, last full day (updated)

Filed under: CFUNITED 2006, ColdFusion, Conferences, Travel, Washington D.C. — Ken @ 6:58 pm

Well, so far this has been a good day.
I ended up skipping the morning sessions so I could catchup on sleep and get a great breakfast (expensive, tho)…
I got to hang out a bit with Rick Root, who I met at last years conference. The rest of my day has been in sessions on Bluedragon and AJAX.
Since I am on my cell right now, I will come back later and put some more details.

After the conference was over for the day, I went with a small group to try to find some decent food and drinks in DC.  Along for the ride were we, my wife Michelle, Rick (mentioned above) and Selma Delgado who is from Houston.  We ended up walking around for 20 minutes looking for a place that looked nice, but wasn’t too expensive.  We finally found a burger joint that was packed, so we settled there assuming that the crowd was a good sign.  The food was ok, but the atmosphere and the service was not that great.  The waitress was obviously over worked, so it took her a while to get back to us sometimes.  Michelle’s order came out wrong and they were quick to replace it.  The manager came over and comped us 3 shots of Tequila for the oversight on Michelle’s order.  Rick and I had already had a shot, and it seemed like the manager wanted to “make things right”…  In my mind, its all good!  By now, poor Michelle is used to having her order messed up…  Its probably a 50/50 chance that they will mess things up on a special order! 

After we finished eating, we went across the street to ESPN Zone and played some games and had dessert.  Dessert was of course occompanied by more drinks!  We didn’t end up getting back to our room until after midnight.  This was a very good day!
