Club Pocket PC Fan Fest at Comdex
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/club/community/comdexfanfest.asp
Wednesday, November 20, 2002
7:00pm - 10:00pm
Bally's Las Vegas
If you're going to be in the Vegas area on the 20th, and you own a Pocket PC, be sure to stop by the Pocket PC Fan Fest! I remember the first Vegas Fan Fest - it was very cool. Stop by the site linked above to register. And, hey, tell me what I missed. :wink:
"November is upon us again, and we're giddy with excitement. It's time for the annual Club Pocket PC Fan Fest at Fall COMDEX. COMDEX is one the most popular electronics trade shows in the world, bringing together gadget fans from all over the planet. This year, as in years past you can join us in Las Vegas for a Fan Fest to remember. What is Fan Fest? An evening of food, fun and new friends just for Pocket PC users. Demos, contests and prizes (oohhhh) will spice up your night and might even send you home with some swag. Join us for this year's Fan Fest at the top of Bally's Las Vegas in Skyview 5/6. And remember: shirts, shoes, and Pocket PC are required."

There are 4 of us so far going from PSHUG and MaximumPDA, sounds like a lot of fun. The last one in Redmond was great. See you there.

The problem isn't so much the FanFest as it is Comdex this year, honestly, with the exception of the Dell PDA (which is great but I wouldn't call it exciting) there really isn't anything I know of that will be released at Comdex and hence I have very little interest.
I remember back in the Graphics card days (back when there was competition and it was actually interesting) it used to be the highlight of my year, very sad...
Just the same, I only live 3 and a half hours away from Vegas so I might take off of work early that day and check it out.

Well, makes me a little less embarrased about considering the drive there 
As for flying, good luck. I've tried flying in on Comdex week, a mess. You'd be better off driving.

We originaly had tickets thru National...that whole thing of sort of sucked, what a pain in the butt. Luckily i was able to to re-book our tickets with Alaska and we are arriving early or late depending how you look at it (Sat the 16th at 11:PM something).
There are going to be a PDA vendors there like Rhino, lots of MS Partners, I think Handspring but not in a big way, TabletPC should be big, the Sharp PDA people are all geared up. I have been getting press releases from the Comdex people by the truck load. I have 3 days to finish the site re-design and get everything ready for the daily COMDEX coverage.
If you see me at the fanfest come by and say hi.
