CAM Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Oh, and geeky t-shirts are compulsary for evening wear! Plenty of those! I dare say I'll eb wearing one in the conference too. Hmmm, zombie cat, anime, mechas or RPG heroine? Which is the most appropriately geeky...

TheScarfedOne Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Due to some faffage with our email this break (HyperV time) - Ive not got said email. Dos_Box, Ive sent you a PM with my personal email in. Can you send across the details? Also coming over on the Wednesday afternoon - so afternoon/evening drinks and food sounds like a plan . Even got both nights - so Thursday evening sheeebang too :-) Stuart
zag Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Which building number is it at microsoft? Its a very large campus Yay! I've just found a Chinese restraunt down the road from the hotel Anything has to be better that the awful chain burger/faux American joints near the canal we ate at last time! China Palace is the only good one, its a 5min walk from the hotel. I wouldn't recommend the £15 eat all you want places on Friar Street, they aren't that good.

According to the Microsoft travel link, all conferences should head to the Customer Briefing Centre in Building 3.
