For the second year running, I’ve decided to hold a 2nd party….
The first is the EMC customer appreciation party @ Temple (540 HOWARD ST - 2 blocks from Moscone Center), Tuesday August 31, 2010 6:30-10:30pm. We’re developing a solid rep that other than the rave, this is the party to be at VMworld :-) You can go here for the details, but warning, all the seats have been filled – in fact we’re WAY over, and bumping against the fire code for the building (like any good party should be – standing room only).
The second party is the 2nd annual vGeekFest. We held the first one last year for the VMware SEs/PSO/GETO crew + Cisco Datacenter SEs + EMC vSpecialists (with other close respected competitors welcome). Was great – as you can see from the pictures here - and we’re doubling down again this year.
So… This year we are at the Starlight Lounge on top of the Drake, Monday evening 8:00 to 10:30 with lite Apps and Drinks.
This one is invite only. To get an invite, email Wade O’Harrow. If you should be there, you know how to reach him :-)
Fellow professional vGeeks – looking forward to seeing you there!
Man - sounds like way cool people, but I don't know Wade O'Harrow, so looks like I shouldn't be there :)

@sketch @Mcowger - guys, my sincere apologies if it's hard to follow, or that it sounds elitist.
Not my intent - at all. This event is a smaller (150 people) one designed for the VMware/Cisco/EMC folks standing cheek to jowl every day trying to fight a good fight together - and not a mass audience. Just like a birthday party, you can't invite the world :-)
The open invite is the EMC customer appreciation event I posted earlier.
I struggled a bit about "how do this" (i.e. open up the communication that this party is going out to the world). As it stands, Wade's been HAMMERED with requests (a function of the internet).
If you know EMC's email format (which you can figure out from my "about" page), you can email Wade.
