I’ve had a very busy VMworld so far dedicating time to networking and sessions. This evening I also had a full schedule on happy hour and parties. I started of the evening at the Thirsty Bear where the south central teams for VMware, Cisco, Intel, and Iland hosted the event. Later, I attended the WYSE party at the OLD MINT where there was great food, wine, and live performance. Check out my video from the OLD MINT.
