All of my buddies from work are at CES. All of my friends in the industry are at CES. All of my blank media reps are at CES.

*I WANT TO BE AT CES!!!!!!!!!*

anyone else know how I feel?

The worst part is, I can't even do my job because all of the companies I work with are closed because they are all at CES. The words bored is too light a word to describe what my day job is like right now :o

Yes, I know how you feel. But if I went to CES, I'd have a pissed off, pregnant wife at home.

Yup, I know how you feel. I can't go to Macworld SF this year because my Uncle will be in Seattle.

Never been to CES, although I'd love to go if I wasn't so busy with work and family these days.

My comapny doesn't think there is enough stuff that will interest them at CES, so they don't send a rep to scout it out. But next year I'll be twisting their arm, or paying my own way. One way or the other, I'm going to go next year!! :wink:

Me too. I got a short list of PR reps and product managers that I want to corner and "chat" with.

There are a couple of people I'd like to "discuss" some things with as well... some reps are SOOOOO clueless and frustrating.

*person A* - "The G06? no it doesn't exist, it's just a silly rumour someone started"

*person B* - "but what about this picture of the disc? and this media quality scan showing the MID code??"

*person A* - "......umm...... I don't know, but it doesn't exist"
