I was not at all impressed by Sun’s OpenSolaris party. The only thing it had going for it was it’s location. It was in the parking garage of the DoubleTree, so I didn’t have far to walk when I bailed.

The wait staff couldn’t pour a beer that was anything less than half head, and they were so inefficient that the beer line was always too long to wait in. The plastic racing tricycles (!!) were broken (as if someone couldn’t have seen that coming). There were ping pong balls and paddles, but no ping pong tables.

Overheard at one point: “Well that’s Sun for you. Always promising, never delivering.”
