Last week, Kelly and I headed to Las Vegas for LT Pact 2007 - hosted by our client Layered Technologies. LT invited all of their clients, potential clients and vendors to learn more about LT and their offerings, as well as meet each other and do some networking. It was a great opportunity for us to not only learn more about LT, but to talk with their customers and spend some time learning more about the LT experience. Speakers and panelists included Andy Schroepfer of Tier1, Jonah Stein of Alchemist (who just may be the smartest guy ever!), and Matt Mullenweg of WordPress.

The most anticpated part of the event was the Texas Hold 'em Tournament on Friday night. Never playing any type of poker before, I was a bit hesitant to join in. But with $5,000 in cash prizes up for grabs, I was easily convinced to play. With about 75 players all way more serious than me, I was expecting to lose all of my chips pretty quickly...not make it to the final table of 10 two hours later and then place 7th! Definitely beginner's luck...

Thanks to LT for a great event...and for new bragging rights!
