Ben Forta spills MAX keynote topic
Steve and I were walking through the casino (you have to walk through the casino to get anywhere around here) and ran into Ben Forta. We were on our way up to the room for some beers (hey it's past 2pm already!) and offered a cold one to Ben. He declined, but was so impressed with our offer that he spilled the beans about Adobe's keynote tomorrow morning.
First off, he instructed us to get there nice and early, front-row seats if possible. And if you plan on sitting in the first 10 rows, "bring a poncho". Hmm, that got our attention.
So I asked him, "Ben, how would tomorrow's keynote compare, to say, the lazer light show of 2000's Allaire DevCon?"
Ben replied, "We decided not to do lazers because of the injuries and resulting lawsuits in 2000. But I promise you that, if you bring the ponchos and while you're at it, a stack of one dollar bills, this will blow 2000 away." Being in Vegas, we knew exactly what he meant.
As we parted ways, I asked him, "We already have a stack of ones, but where do we buy a poncho around here?"
He smiled and replied, "Through the casino."
For those of you who aren't at MAX, the keynote opened with a brief performance by Blue Man Group involving paint, silliness, etc.
I'll let other bloggers recount the keynote highlights.
