I attempted to act as a token exchange system by requesting two PRs and an internal Microsoft chap to authenticate the applying party, but the system was designed only for anonymous authorisation and Kim had timed out before I got to an authoritative directory owner. I'm sure Kim said John Fontana's token too, but we had forced two martinis into his hands by this point and he might have been forging his logs... what's even funnier is that there was a party in the same place on Saturday night and we had come in through a system back door (the lift to the hotel rooms, a helpful employee, the catering stairs - social engineering?) and had been rejected - though in a friendlier way - and had to reload the process by entering the site through the front door. The macaroni cheese balls are to die for, but oh, the interface... great to meet you in person by the way!

I was talking to Mary Branscombe, Simon Bisson and John Udell when suddenly Mary jumped up with a big smile on her face. Kim, who has a kind of friendly bear look about him, had arrived. She ran over and then I noticed that a bouncer had his arm across Kim’s chest (”if your name’s not down you’re not coming in”). Kim had apparently wandered upstairs without getting his wristband first. Kim disappeared off downstairs, and I figured he might not even come back. A few minutes later though and there he was. I assumed he had found an organizer downstairs to give him a wristband… When he said that he actually had taken the wristband from someone leaving the party, and hooked it onto his wrist me and John practically pissed our pants laughing.
