The second stop for the on AIR Bus Tour was Vancouver, British Columbia. I've been here many times for work before, so I was surprised to find out that this was the first time for others on the tour. Vancouver is an amazingly gorgeous city, and being here reminds me that I'd like to come here for vacation some time - not right now though, as the city is having near record highs.
We got into town well before the evening seminars started, so I took the opportunity to get out and stretch a little. I broke out the camera and spent the better part of an hour doing a tour of my own around the few blocks near the hotel. I got some really neat pictures of the architecture of the area, which struck me as very geometric.
The event itself had amazing attendance. What was astounding was how many people showed up despite the heat (37° C, or so I hear). Even more amazing was how many people were still there at 10:30 PM when we finished. The presentation space was literally outside on the roof, with a tarp as a roof, so the heat came right through. The rest of the bar however was nice and cool.
Mike Chambers gave me a chance to repeat my presentation on "script bridging", which he was originally scheduled to present. It's a cool presentation, that's getting more refined each time. My presentation on "getting started with AIR and HTML" is getting to be rock solid, thanks to some great feedback from the audience in Vancouver.
Tomorrow morning we pull out of Vancouver and head to Portland, OR for the next venue.
