1. Thought this chalk drawing at the Acronis booth was awesome! Watched it come to life every time I passed their booth. Love the 3D effect from these things.

2. Free custard? Seriously? Who didnt see this guy driving around in front of the Moscone Center during VMworld 2013. Everytime we left the building, there he was. Pretty cool idea Microsoft. 3. I love this shot taken in the Hang Out space at VMworld 2013. Who didnt need a recharge on their device at this show? 4. Cool way to pass some time while in the Hang Out space at VMworld 2013. 5. While walking around the expo hall for hours on end at VMworld, I noticed there was a lack of seating in that place. These seats were very comfortable and a welcomed treat. 6. Doesnt everyone know about the rubber chicken at VMworld and VMUG shows? I was thrilled to add a much smaller version to my key ring. 7. Im a Star Wars junkie! So when I saw this in the case, I absolutely flipped. YES! SCAN ME!! I knew I wouldnt win, but it was worth a shot. I was not the person they were looking for so I moved along. 8. VMblog interviewed PHD Virtual at VMworld, and I had to get a photo of this shirt very cool! And the Zombie at their booth really made them stand out as well. Sort of a creepy dude, but it worked. 9. Way to go Simplivity. Now if I were going to win ANYTHING at VMworld this should have been it. 10. Remember when I said I was a Star Wars junkie? Well this thing caught my eye in a big way. So cool. Had to snap a photo of this one. 11. My kids LOVED the Zenoss Zenny. Didnt take too many things back with me from the show. But Zenny made it. 12. If you didnt make it to the 2nd annual SolarWinds and VMblog vMixer party shame on you! You missed one heck of a party. We had a great time. Good food, drinks, trivia and conversation. 13. No matter what the show or event, SolarWinds buttons always go over well. This was a cool shot. 14. Yes, people love VMware. And evidently, they love weird little heart shaped headed green things too, because they were moving boxes of these things real quick like! 15. Had to include this shot. This was taken during the SolarWinds and VMblog vMixer party. Just an all around cool photo, dont you think? 16. One of my favorite booths at the show VMTurbo. This catch the wave booth came complete with a surf board video game, where attendees could play for top score and a cool prize. 17. This years VMworld 2013 event was the 10th anniversary of the show. And this year was definitely the biggest event yet for VMware. 18. Ill say it, these people freaked me out. Very weird. It would have been one thing for them to stay within the confines of their booth, but when they were roaming around creepy. 19. Spend a fair amount of time hanging out in the Hang Out room a great place to be when we werent at the Expo Hall or the press room making things happen. Great job here VMware. 20. Ive been involved with VMware since 1999. So it was fun to see the time line wall and remember the old days. This was a great idea and well executed.
