If you guys haven't already signed up for the MIX facebook page, I would highly recommend that you do so - you will see some great shots of what you might expect at MIX09 this year, including the following...
An amazing documentary, by the guy who did "Helvetica" - I am a huge fan and will definitely be in attendance.
Tattoo Artists. Well, that is Vegas for you... I do not *plan* on getting one, although I am known for taking the occasional bet...
Disco Balls and kick-ass Parties. I will personally ask "Gu" not to wear this outfit...
Party Animals. And no, we're not talking about that whole "Fuzzies" movement or whatever that is, although this picture kind of weirds me out... (I don't ask anymore, I really don't)
Oh, oh wait - and beyond all the fun you'll be having on the side (which I'll surely be joining you for) we'll also have some awesome demos, great keynotes, terrific people, and lots, lots more. This will be my first *official* Microsoft Conference (as an attendee, as an employee, and as a speaker) and I cannot wait.
Onward to MIX! /LC
