Google Dance 2008 » July 17
Woohoo!
Just checked the line-up for SES 2008 and it seems that it begins August 18 - 21 in San Jose. Ok, yes it’s a geek conference but last year I got skiploads of great tip and advice from the best eggheads in Silicon Valley.
By far the best part of the whole deal is that the annual Google Dance will be on August 19 from 7pm-11pm, which is just 4 days before I finish my job, so I will be able to go for a second time! I remind you that it’s a fantastic party put together by the great people at Google who spend literally several million dollars on free food, drink, candy, treats, arcade games and lots of other stuff for the 6000+ invitees, all held at the Googleplex in Mountain View. Free tshirt too.
I’m so glad that I’ll get to go before I leave. It really was great fun last year. AOL even did a free 3 course lunch for listening to their boring talk about 3G devices.
It also means I can attend WordCamp 2008, right in San Francisco just a few blocks from my office. Yey.
Oh, and I confirmed that I will finish work here in SF on August 23, 2008 and the plan is to head to San Diego on the 24th for a week, then Chicago for a few days, Washington D.C, Boston (if I can squeeze it in) and New York for a week, flying home to Belfast on September 18th. I shall be broke at the end of it.
