Hey gang....
I just heard from the guy that does our shows: NetApp will be having a reception on Tuesday evening from 8-12 at the Schooners bar in the Sheraton.
Have Fun!

How 'bout just get tanked?
I'd like to support this proposal. As many of you know, there are a number of bars on Pine St. They're uphill from the convention center, so the return trip will be on gravity-assist.
I'd like to recommend to NetApp that they take steps to provide enhanced beverage throughput for this year's hospitality suite.
1. More blenders (N + 1 blenders?)
2. A caching system; just like DLT tape operations, beverage production is most efficient when given the opportunity to continue streaming despite momentary breaks in demand. The cache also helps minimize the impact of the high-latency nature of pina colada/margarita blending.
3. Hopefully, metrics from last year were saved in order to provide for predictive engineering.
