Leaving Las Vegas… again. It’s Thursday night / Friday morning and my new teammates here at RES have just dispersed from the Parasail bar at the Wynn where we all enjoyed a team building end of show cocktail. VMworld 2011 has just ended and we are “knackered” as our man Grant from the UK would say. What a show!
