PDC 2008 Experience: Day -1
Time for the Day -1 recap. Today was pre conference day, I did not attend any pre conference sessions, primarily because it was my 12 year wedding anniversary. On to the recap.
Started off the day at The Pantry, a famous restaurant that has been open for 80 some odd years. After that I talk a brisk walk to the Los Angeles convention center to register. Registration was simple, I think the whole process took about 10 minutes, that includes the first goodie bag. I do not know who designed the bags but it is quite hideous. It is going directly to my daughter when I get home.
On the way back to the hotel, I meet Scott Cate, user group leader of the AZ Groups site and owner of MyKB.com. We chatted about a future event in the Phoenix metro area. Then it was off to Santa Barbara.
The trip to Santa Barbara was about 90 some odd minutes along route 101 in California. Once we arrived in Santa Barbara we hung out at Stearns Wharf. Then we took a walk up State street which has a lot of cool foliage and shops. After the long walk we decided to hang out at the beach. I think I took a half hour nap.
I almost forget Fred's cousin, Ralph was there.
We then headed back to LA with a drive down Hollywood Blvd, then Sunset Blvd and then the Grove a cool outdoor mall. Then back to hotel to eat.
Some PDC beach artwork.
Stay tuned tomorrow for PDC day 1: Keynotes, Sessions and Expo Hall
