Did you know that if you circel the earth going West you can have an everlasting day.
Yesterday, I lived that day.
It was hell flying over here but it seems petty to complain about it now that I’m here, so I’m not going to.
I got here right in time for the casual reception in the hotel bar. It sucked. Everybody sitting at their own table ignoring everybody else. I tried to start a conversation with someone who blew me off. So I just sat at the bar by myself drinking microbrewery beer. And some more beers. And another one. Than I bumped into Nancy who told me the casual reception was next door and it was almost finished.
Duh!
Still managed to catch everyone coming out and head for another bar down the street. We had pitchers of dark microbrewery beer that tasted like cold coffee. It took some time getting used to it (about one pitcher) and then it was allright. We stayed there pretty late, it’s also good to see that drinking is part of W+K company culture.
Anyways, I hit the sack pretty late and got up at 6am. I slept like a baby though.
Up next: the Pecha Kucha thing where everyone has to present their pdf in 20 seconds per slide. I’m really looking forward to it. (To the other ones being presented not necessarily to doing it myself.)
Than there’s this: (video)
I’ll keep you posted.
Hah, so true Christian. It is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all over again. I half expected Jelly to turn up and slowly stroll towards us, and then do a half roll with an umbrella, before everyone gasped and cheered like in the movie.
You comparing it to Wonka makes me want to be there all the more. Glad it’s turning out to be great for you guys. Here’s hoping they’ll do it again sooner than next January.
Nice to meet you on the sixth floor. Your name is WK replacement number 32.
Blogg man, blogg! I’m dying here.
Hey Christian,
I loved your presentation. I didn’t get a chance to talk with you though. Bummer.
What a trip that thing was huh?
I know, as soon as I get a chance to sit down I’ll write a long report. Today I chilled on Mount Hood and took a plane to LA..
Ryan! Was a trip allright, you on Caleb’s Mailing list?
hi Christian, not sure if u remmeber me but i was the asian dude who sat beside you on friday night dinner at Portland. There’s a mailing list? could i join too?
Nelson, dude, what are you talking about, ‘course you’re on the mailing list.
Did anyone get a job offer?
I hope so? Who is zeppelinrepair? Reveal yourself.
christian and zepplinrepair are one and the same.
and i’m erin who disappeared on saturday to the worsthangoverever.
…
Did everybody come back safely?
could we set up a list with all the emails of the people who came to Portland so that we can stay in touch ?
Sounds like a hell of a good time! Funny a about the beer and chocolate ref, considering Belgium’s World Class status on those two items. (; Hard to beat, even by Portland high standards on beer. How many of the 50 got offers???
My mouth is totally full of beer in that picture.
And in real life right now.
