The Bamboo Panda has landed. Well, sort of. Heavy rains and overcast greeted me upon my arrival. Then I received word that my colleagues' flight was delayed. Ho-hum. Nevertheless, I hopped into a cab headed to downtown Denver. The driver was more than happy to tell me what's hot – and not – in the area. By the time I reached the hotel, the rain stopped and sunshine peaked through the clouds. Hey, it's going to be a glorious day after all!
After finding my way to the Convention Center, I quickly routed myself to the 16th Street Mall, a 1.25-mile pedestrian mall that boasts lots of stores, Starbucks (I counted four!), many restaurants with outdoor eating areas, pavilions, street entertainers, and more. Did I mention shopping? Free shuttle buses (MallRide) help make the walk back to your starting point easier in the event you're loaded down with bags from too much shopping - or simply too tired for the trek back. I opted to walk the corridor to get a glimpse of the heart of Denver.
It looks like the rest of the gang has finally arrived so we're about to head over to the Convention Center to set-up the booth for SharePoint Fest. We're looking forward to seeing you!
