1 Day 16 hours 13 minutes and 41 seconds until Autodesk University officially opens to over 7000 attendees!

The registration desk opens in 1 hour in Hall C in the Venetian Meeting and conference area and I will be there. The walk is much easier than in past AU years and the Venetian as an AU venue look to be a real winner. Those that are members of Autodesk MyFeedback will get a special MyFeedback ribbon when they sign up and if you don't, please chase me down or see me at booth 415 on Tuesday when the Exhibit Hall opens. If you are a blogger make sure to find me for a special blogger ribbon.

I met with some people last night then headed off for some sushi at Treasure Island. After the free Sirens show headed back to the hotel and wimped out and went to bed instead of staying out all night at the clubs as I was dead tired and a ton of stuff to do.

Sunday Highlights: I have began publishing more and more photos to my AU 2006 Gallery and some photo descriptions will be added as time permits. I got to meet a famous nature photographer who has a gallery here in the Venetian shops his name is Peter Lik. Peter just happened to be in town and walked into the gallery of his showing some of the nicest images I have ever seen. I also felt lucky and placed $10 in a slot machine and won $50 then walked away with the winnings.

I ran into a number of people I knew including two of the brains behind Autodesk University scenes Sheryl and Tina.

A couple of AU speakers Matt and Alex were spotted at the AU meeting place La Scena.

Behind the Scenes shots of the Exhibit Hall under construction. This place is HUGE!

I am trying to organize a Geekfest outing after Tuesday nights Beer bust. A bunch of people will meet at La Scena lounge from 10-10:30PM then head out on the town for some fun.
