Right behind you both times :) At the Bar i was with Andrew, Robin, Barry, Marc and the others talking about the finer points of how cool FlashCom is and what we can/can't do with it :D I was also behind you during one of the presentations and you asked me to read through a CFAUSSIE post you where about to make :D At anyrate, I wasn't as Vocal as everyone seems to expect, that wasn't due to nerves or shyness, it was a combination of things, mainly my interest was trying to cram as much MXDU information into my grape sized brain and for that its like bugging me while reading... you'll get a mumble and thats it :D I was pretty vocal at the drinks on the first night, so much so i think the people i was with would laugh and then go "oh man is this guy ever going to shuddup".. i get pretty wordy when i'm tipsy and drop F-bombs all night...so you have to be thankful about that. Next year I will be more of a sociable character and will get around like the hookers in the cross (sure they eventually get around, but lets face it.. would you want one near you??.. thats me in a nutshell anyway). I did meet Ryan, Sarah, 360.com.au peoples, Tim, Viktor, Daemon crew *shock*, Nector guys, Macromedia peoples, Jesse, Steve, Mark, Marc, Kym, Craig and the list goes on.. so keep in mind there where allot of people wanting to speak to me and it wasn't all polite conversations :D... it was like "YOU!... come here you little bastard!" Anyway, Barry's cracking the whip and has put a post limit per day on CFAUSSIE to 2... so i've got one more (maybe 2 if i can squeeze two while he's not watching)...
