This post by Robert Scoble caught my eye. I've actually been to Building 20 twice, and both times it was a fantastic affair, unfortunately I didn't manage to get over for this ASPInsiders gathering - maybe next time. The greating thing about going to these things for someone on the other side of the planet is that the technical content keeps you awake and alert all day, and the timezone shift means that you can stay up all night (although you are completely wrecked when you fly back to Australia).
Last time I was there after the day's sessions a few of us hung back and played on the X-BOX's for a while and tried out a few PC games. Army Steve really is a very good shot, basically I aspire to be able to shot the wings of mosquito's like he can. Rob Howard was also pretty good, but I managed to OWN3D him a few times :)
The coolest memory I have is when we decided to head down to Redmond (or was it Kirkland) to a pool bar late one night. Rob was running around the pool tables bare foot sinking balls. I ended up standing next to GAD (now part of the collective) at the bar when this lass roles up next to him being friendly. She was obviously attracted by the long white socks and sandles - don't try and deny it Andrew!
During the session the following day the Messenger windows were flying around with quotes of "her boob touched my arm!" :)
Unfortunately - all the technnical content was under NDA at the time :P
