Right after our visit with Paul and Kimberly I had the opportunity to head back to Atlanta for Microsoft’s MGX conference. I was able to stayed with my parents and drive downtown every morning to Philips and WWCC. What a crazy event….the first morning I get down there and walk into the Philips Arena which was all ours, it’s 7:30 AM and they have strobe lights going every where and rock band playing. There was about 13,000 Microsoft employees from around the world there…so overwhelming. The day was packed with special awards and recognition and of course Steve Ballmer and Kevin Turner lighting up the stage.
I had head about all their excitement, but I must say you have to experience it to understand. We were busy doing working sessions, sitting on keynote US speakers, and soaking it all in. At night I was able to see my family and friends (thanks Britain and Lisa for stopping by). Friday night I was able to drive up to finally see Tiff and Tom’s lake house, so neat and I can’t wait to come back for a long weekend! Saturday at lunch Pat, Liz, and Megan headed all the way downtown to have lunch with me during my break. So nice to have friends that rearrange their plans for you when you come in town…miss you guys! I headed back Saturday evening after the conference, but MS had rented out Six Flags for us as an attendee party….I thought Six Flags been there done that, but what I didn’t know was Pink and Daughtry performed for us…pretty cool.
