JavaOne Welcome Reception
The welcome reception was really not a reception at all. It was a large space occupied by video games, air hockey, and geeks galore. Did I mention I beat Andrew 5-1 in air hockey? Oh nevermind!
At the reception, Andrew and I met a couple guys from St. Louis. Scott Delap and Lance Finney joined us for free beer at the reception and then again afterwards at a local establishment. After having a couple Guinness, Lance suggested that we order "Guinness Floats". Yes, thats right, Guiness beer along with vanilla ice crean. Andrew and Scott resisted but I gave in. It was actually a rather nice drink/dessert. Can't say that I had ever thought of it before, but it was suprisingly good.
