We could get tanked and then go raid the Auspex party. EMC, too, if they actually have a party/BOF. ;-)
How 'bout just get tanked? :) I doubt Auspex could afford a party, what with practically no new income. :-|
I'm making my local netapp reps pony up some more drink tickets, and trying to get him to get some Netapp t-shirts that aren't white for once. :)
Glad to see you'll be there, Kendall. :)

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.
