Crowded at the Keynote - the singers voice from the opening act sounded exactly like Johnny Cash...
The Surface demo station was way cool...got some cool video for Silverlight later...
The XBOX 360 Rock Band Competition was fierce - I'm now 2/2 for Elvis sightings in Vegas...
The Hard Rock Silverlight 2.0 Memorabilia Demo at https://memorabilia.hardrock.com/ with Deep-Zoom was simply amazing!
