The setting: Boston Convention Center for Microsoft TechEd 2006… 15,000 people… Keynote Address with Mary Lynn Rajskub (from the show 24)… I’m in the red polo…
Yeah… What are the odds?
- #1 I got up on stage
- #2 I hammed it up
- #3 Me and the other dude were both from Minneapolis…
The things you don’t really see are:
1:13 - I make a comment about my “good side”
1:36 - Asked if I could read the tellaprompter
3:40 - I made a move on Mary Lynn
4:44 - I get my own hug… ham it up there Jake.
Do I end up looking like a dork? Yes… but name another developer who could do that in front of that many of his peers :)
Jake,
That’s great. I think I saw that clip after TechEd, but didn’t know who you were at the time.
Chris
:) Now you know someone who stood next to someone famous…
LOL
I stood next to Master P. Does that make me cool?
I don’t watch 24, but I do recognize the MC from Mr. Show.
Nice improv, buddy!
