It's almost noon on the second day of Southwest Fox. This conference is a bit different than others have been as it's not held at a hotel. We're on the campus of Arizona State University. The hotel is a five minute walk away...certainly closer than some rooms I've had in conference hotels. Breakfast has been at the IHOP next to the hotel.

Last night was the speaker dinner. We loaded a bus and driven a short distance away to the Improv. Pauly Shore was the headliner for the standup comedians that performed. Dinner was good. The show received mixed reviews from the speakers. The material was material that can be found on HBO, but definately not on broadcast networks.

This morning I started off at 8:00 with my "Using Windows Event Log" session. It was better attended than it was yesterday. I keep hearing good things from attendees about it...which I'm glad to hear. Dave Bernard reviewed it for his Universal Thread conference report. You can read it here.

Lunch is soon approaching. The speakers will be congretating in front of the fountain outside for a group picture, then lunch and a keynote from Drew Speedie.

For a first time conference, Southwest Fox has been a huge success. Jeff and Bob have done a wonderful job of organizing the event...and plans are already underway for next year. If you didn't make it to Tempe this weekend, make your plans to be here next year. You'll learn alot...more more importantly, you'll have a great time!
