After that session was the opening dinner, which Apachecon (thanks to SUN) DID provide. Not only food, but free beer! You were given two tickets, each one good for a free beverage. BDF gave one of his to Sherrill when her water came, but I sucked down two beers before I managed to lose my tickets. Afterwards I wandered around a little bit, as they had some booths set up. I grabbed a free java decoder ring from Sun, and then chatted with a AMD guy for a while about AMD vs Intel for a while, cause I saw they had free knives. There were about 10 when I started talking to him, and we were slowly walking towards them (very slowly), and more and more were getting taken by passers-by. Finally there was one left, and soe kid reached for it, so I snapped my arm around and grabbed it before he could get it. Oh yeah, this is after slamming two beers quite fast, and I was kinda dazed. The AMD guy probably thought I was retarded, but I got a free knife, so I couldn't care less.
