At the end of one of my sessions at DevConnections last week, a girl friend of mine from Burlington who was at the conference came into the room and sat down with a big grin on her face. It seems that she and another girl friend of mine, a programmer from Alaska, had made an executive decision about that evening's entertainment and decided that I would be joining them. She was delivering the ticket they bought for me. Was I finally going to see a Cirque du Soleil show? Maybe Bette Midler (who had been on my flight to Vegas)? I had no clue. I turned a few shades of red when I saw the ticket and with a whole lot of coaxing, did show up at the venue to meet up with the girls at the designated time.
The show was silly, a little weird, but I had to have a serious memento to prove that I had succumbed to attending.

wait for it

Yes folks, its true. I went to see the famed Thunder from Down Under show.
That's all your getting out of me. ;-)
Perhaps this will convince more women to attend developer conferences?
