WWDC was awesome!

The Tonga Room: My drink came in a pineapple. This place was in the old pool room of the hotel and their was a boat floating in the pool with a band playing on it. Pretty sweet.

The Kozy Kar: The floor and bar are laminated with playboy centerfolds and all of the seating is made of old vans with shag carpet interiors.

Koko: A total hipster bar complete with old timey black and white movies being projected on the wall and a bartendress with short hair and skinny jeans. I ordered their cocktail special, Gunpowder. It was topped off with cayenne pepper. It was interesting. I had enough to drink that it tasted pretty good, whatever else was in it. There were also a couple of weird peephole things in the walls that had some interesting miniatures inside.

I can’t leave out the WWDC bash either. It was a big party with lots of food and drinks. They always have a live band. This year it was Michael Franti and Spearhead. I was only familiar with his one “Say Hey (I Love You)” song but he did a good job of getting a bunch of nerds into it.

After the conference, we were lucky enough to get a tour of Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville. We hopped on the BART and then took the Emery-Go-Round to the offices. It was really cool. We got to see some really cool artwork from Cars 2 and take pictures in front of some awesome Monsters Inc. figures.

I had a blast. I learned a ton and I suggest that any Apple developer makes it out to WWDC at least once in their career.
