I'm off to Boston next week so for those who annoy me continuously, and for those I annoy on a regular basis I'm sure we'll all enjoy a well earned break.
I've been out before, around 3 and a half years ago but this time I have a purpose, whereas last time it was just one enormous drunken brawl. Don't get me wrong, I intend to drink myself daft just like last time, however I have a deviously evil plan this time around ... and that's to steal the Macromedia sign off of their building at 275 Grove Street before it gets replaced by an Adobe one.
Getting it back on the plane to Glasgow I've not yet figured out, but I'll aim low by just planning to acquire the sign first.
Of course, I won't be risking arrest until after I've paid a visit to the lovely MM folks themselves, including Mr Rock n Roll himself, Ed Sullivan. Being a User Group Manager, I've given Ed a lot of grief over the past year so I think it's only fair that I buy him some beer and apologise for the t-shirt I send him back in May. Ed unfortunately couldn't make it to
Scotch on the Rocks so I got one of his co-workers to send me a photo of him and proceeded to stick a
C-U-Jimmy hat on him.
Very flattering I must say.
Obviously I also intend to deliberately bump into a few of the CF Product Team as well, and grab some free product support and MX 7 Enterprise Licenses in exchange for beer. I will also introduce them to the wonder that is
Irn Bru, the world's only guaranteed hangover cure. A nice fry up with tattie scones, black pudding and lorne sausage works a treat too.
ps I wonder if the Big Dig is finished yet, and whether it will actually look any different to the big holes that were all over the place back in 2002.
