Microsoft / MTV Party with the Killers
Posted by Chris Leckness on 01/7/06 in CES
The 1st night I was at CES 2006, I finished off the day with a fun and entertaining evening at Ceasar’s Palace Pure Nightclub. It was an exclusive Microsoft/MTV Party that featuring "the Killers" and the "Pussycat Dolls".
The party was way crowded and had an open bar (although I don’t drink). The Killers put on a great performance. I was able to get my geek on at this party though, I ran down one of the Microsoft Product Managers for a Demo of the Toshiba Gigabeat S Series ( the for sure iPod Video Killer - more on that later ) and the Motorola Q.
I was joined at this party by Andrew Brown (Microsoft), Steven "FYIguy" Hughs(Boston PocketPC), Mauricio Freitas(Geekzone), Dale Coffing(Microsoft Evangelist and Pastor), and Jason Dunn(PocketPC Thoughts and Smartphone Thoughts).

Sounds like a fun night. The Killers are a pretty good band.
I love that “Evangelist” title that Microsoft likes to use for some of its positions. We had some Developer Evangelists visit our company a while back for a Steering Committee presentation of VS.NET 2005. We all tried to get our managers to create Evangelist positions, but they were none to keen on the idea. :p
Well I didn’t really know how to address Dale. He was a Microsoft MVP as Steven, Mauricio, and I are. He used to have the very popular PocketPCPassion.com and now he basicly does shows for Microsoft. (he is a wonderful public speaker and is very passionate about Windows Mobile!).
Looks like a fun night on the town. I too like The Killers.
Wow… Cool photo. The party was nice - and thanks for me being in the middle ;-)
No problem Mauricio, its good publicity having such an star onboard!
