The next three days will be awesome.
Later this afternoon I am heading to Sandusky, Ohio's Kalahari Resort and Conference center to attend my first CodeMash! For those not in the know, CodeMash is a technology conference that brings over 700 developers together for three days of talks, in-depth all-day learning sessions, plenty of food, and of course, a water park.
Being my first year attending CodeMash, I am a bit nervous about going, but I cannot really argue with the opportunity that I am presented. I have a chance to learn a lot about technologies I love, be introduced to some new technologies, and most importantly, network with a ton of great people. Yes, I am sure the conference is cool for its talks and meetings, but I am really going this week to network like mad.
Tonight should be the easiest of the three nights. I am driving to Sandusky, checking into my room, and scoping out the whole park and conference center. I plan to relax to the max tonight.
Tomorrow should be the busiest day of the conference. If events go down like they are scheduled, I will be up and out of my hotel room by 7:00am for breakfast, conferences from 8:00am to 7:30pm, then dinner and an after-party in the water park for CodeMash peeps only until 1:00am! Longest day of my life in a while? Why yes, yes it will be.
Friday is a bit more relaxed: breakfast by 9:30am, then conferences all the way through 5:30pm, with a few closing ceremonies. After that? Well, I should have booked my hotel through the weekend to relax and enjoy the water park, but I am being conservative this year. I will either follow peeps to any popular dinners or meander my way over to The Original Margaritaville on Rt. 6 for a quick dinner before making the long drive home. I expect to be dead tired by Friday evening.
I cannot wait.
B3 out.
