Nope - no conference or trade show I attended ever had nekkid men performing. Or nekkid women, for that matter. :-)

[afuna]

Half naked. Half! ;-)

[pauamma]

Same difference. (Whether you meant that half were wholly naked and half wholly clothed, or that each was half-naked.)

[av8rmike.livejournal.com]

Painted half-naked men? Are you sure you were at the right conference? ;)

BTW, if you're around later tonight (tomorrow morning), I could use your input on a S2 project.

[afuna]

Yes ;-) Well, pretty sure. I hope I was. There was Java-ing later on!

How many hours from now? I shall be out the whole day tomorrow (around another 20 or so hours, starting from now), for the second day of the conference, but I'll be happy to provide any input when I get back.

Or if it's something you can talk about through email, I can go read that, and let it digest while I'm at the conf or something.

I'm really curious now ;-)

I showed it to Constance in IRC last night (yesterday morning for you? so confusing...) but decided to just go ahead and post: http://community.livejournal.com/s2expressive/129342.html
