I made it to Aspen, in one piece, but very tired after a car, plane, train, bus, and car trip. Along the way I took some pictures (on the flip side). Got to meet some people I've annoyed for years now on the Boost list, but only know virtually... Joel, Beman, Victor, Harmut, and Doug. And what better way to introduce the conference than with a picture. This one is during the evening drinks get together:
That would Joel de Guzman. The rest...
In reading order... At the Denver airport they have a rather strange mixture of styles, topped off by including a full sized lear jet in one of the terminals. After some breathtaking, but long, driving west into the mountains we passed by the Colorado River. The picture was taken, in the car, while moving, still looks good though. After about 3 hours of that driving we stopped for a rest at the banks of the Colorado River. An hour late we get to the Meadows resort in Aspen, which has a view of the, now mostly bare, slopes. But still an impressive sight. And lastly, some of the other people here.
