Last night was the big shindig for WinHEC attendees. All 3,000 were invited to the Universal Studios theme park. It's actually part of the real NBC/Universal complex where many of their movies and TV shows are made.

We had a whole section of the park to ourselves, with nonstop food, free-flowing drink, and access to a number of rides and exhibits. A good time was had by all.

That must of been great for you, WINHEC and movie history together, it doesn't much better than that for you!

Hehe. I was wondering if anyone would notice! It was a surreal combination. Not only that, but the person I was with was also a movie buff and we spent the whole evening talking about movies!
