RoutingNinjaI wrote a blog entry on why Cisco Live was awesome this year. http://www.routingninja.net
@gallifreyanI would've enjoyed the improv session, but had other commitments (and have done my share of standup comedy already)
CommsNinjaImprov class was awesome!
@gallifreyanI have to say I liked the vendor events where you could hear people next to you (ePlus, BaconIT, for example)
@gallifreyanI've kinda run out of excitement for huge noisy booomboom parties.
@gallifreyanLauren: Next time, bigger room for Cisco Champion Radio Live
RoutingNinjabacon buffet in the tweetup lounge
LaurenFriedman@gillifreyan -no more boomboom for you
CommsNinjaI'm getting a smaller room next year-better pictures for CCR Live!
ahmadmanzoorI was not at CLUS that's why i am just listening but i have seen sessions on Cisco Live website
tnewshottI managed to avoid any sessions at all.
subnetworkI do. I learn an incredible amount from the people,
@gallifreyanI took one class each day, and two labs, but mostly tech field day and social stuff and Cisco Champion stuff.
LaurenFriedman@gallifreyan DON'T B SAD

CommsNinjaLike it.
@gallifreyanoh yeah, when do the CLUS EU episodes come out?
CommsNinjaEvery Wednesday rain or shine for EU. First will come up soon.

tnewshottIt was rough having the event spread across 3-4 buildings for me this year.
@gallifreyanGideonTam: You did a great job. I went easy on the leaderboard this year.
Fish14all should be there w/in 2 weeks of today
GideonTamAnd one of my tweets was on the Featured Tweets.
@gallifreyanwe could do table topics outside of the table topic region.
@gallifreyanmaybe "rent" a meeting room in a nearby hotel for Champion sessions, like we did for TFD.
ahmadmanzoorLaurenFriedman: Session ID: CEWN-1000,

@gallifreyan yeah, CML/VIRL were still a bit confusing last week.

Fish14luck, luck, luck
@gallifreyanMaybe "What's it like to work for Cisco?"
GideonTamLauren Cooney insisted that there would be uses of CML (supported version) and VIRL (unsupported version).
