Calgary Code Camp 2007 - It begins here!

Apr 28

Everyone's favorite metro is here at Calgary Code Camp 2007, reporting *live*! Yours truly is poised for the days events, especially given I have had about 4 hours of sleep and just chugged a litre and a half of strong coffee after not drinking any coffee for the last several years. Both by brain and my intestinal tract are on FULL ALERT for this camp! Things are very different this year, as instead of borrowing my wife's laptop (yes, after a year I can admit it - I'm secure in my manhood), I have the green monster here with me to report! (Click here for last year's reporting and poetry)

At our welcome intro, James Kovacs starts off by telling...wait a second. Is James wearing the *exact same outfit* he wore at last year's camp? A brave yet consistent stylistic choice!! James tells everyone that "the XBox stays *right here*" and then...uh...points at his crotch. I'm not sure what this means but I can tell you I don't need an XBox360 *that* bad - it seems to have peaked Jonas Avellana's attention though.

Unlike Kovacs, yours truly is wearing a *brand new* shirt just for Calgary Code Camp. I know this sounds hard to believe but this shirt is actually hotter than the one I wore to last years camp. Since I know what you're really reading these posts for, I will keep you all posted with regular "shirt status" updates throughout the day. I don't know whether it was the shirt or what, but Jonas just came up to me, said "Looking sexy, my friend", wheeled around, frenched some unsuspecting developer guy, and then pointed at Kovacs and said, "THAT'S FOR YOU JAMES" before being hauled away by security. Is Kovacs' shirt truly that much more powerful than mine???

More to come...

I saw your shirt. Are you way to chicken shit to get real tattoos so you had to get them embroidered onto the sleeve of your shirt?

Hey, I can't be wearing the David Hasselhoff look ten years after it went out of style like some people I know here...

The shirt kicked the llama's ass. I was jealous of it, but I thought if I ripped it off last night at the restaurant we might end up on the street and a boy like you naked and alone on the streets of Calgary is no place to be. So I with-held my urges, but watch out next year. If you even think of wearing something sexy, I might have to break out the mexican wrestling mask and perform a coup de taus (or however you spell that) on your entire entourage.

Your shirt pales in comparison to the power and awe of my Hawaiian shirt.

I don't rightly recall if it's the exact same shirt as I wore last year, but it might be. In light of that fashion faux-pas and to avoid future fashion embarrassment, I hereby appoint Justice Gray as MVP Fashion Advisor. The position doesn't come with a MSDN Premium Subscription, but it does come with the undying gratitude of MVPs everywhere. Before my next presentation please be assured that I've got your number and I will be calling.
