Setting Up HandsOn Labs -- Killing the BattleBot (PDC05)
I'm down in LA ready for the show, and headed over to get my creds and say hello to people. I got an "attendee" pass (not my usual Staff label) and had to deal with the high security imposed on the HOL area.
It's an amazing city -- the bus over took just minutes, but I haven't had power in my hotel (18th floor) for the past 20 minutes. Front desk calls this a "brown-out". You may want to bring a flashlight and some rope.
I shot a short video of the people setting up the lab area, and also investigated the story that Corey Hynes was responsible for killing the BattleBot -- just an urban legend, but I wanted everyone to have the details.
Tonight I'm headed back for the .NET Rocks! session at 6PM -- it should be great.
