One of the new concepts for this year’s JAOO was a dedicated JAOO Today bar, which we have been looking very much forward to spring upon the unsuspecting audience. And unsuspecting they were, indeed. The bar featured the classical JAOO-green drinks, and much else, but only winners of the JAOO TwitterBingo™ and MatchMaking™ contests were given free drinks – at least at the beginning. To our great delight and surprise, we actually had some MatchMaking winners showing up with their matched speaker, thereby winning the all you can drink social interaction catalyst, also known as booze. The speaker in question, Mads Torgersen was nice enough to exploit this prize and hang around the bar for quite a while.
A number of attendees did not actually win in any of the competitions, but did a nice job of either cheating, trying, or chattering us up, so they also got their free booze, and it’s probably safe to say that at the end of the evening, there was free booze for everybody.
The JAOO Devil was seen twittering at some point, and will probably be late to the keynote on Tuesday morning.
Another new concept was the JAOO Today Party Anonymous Confession Booth where you could go and leave an audio message for the JAOO Today crew to hear and digest. We are therefore proud to be able to provide you with an exclusive writeup:
- Those two girls from Version2, have they left yet? (sustained period of silence while fumbling with microphone) … We are two IT-gays… We just want to put our bodies out there, just to get some whitewine sprinkler… because that’s what we drink… Amen!
- I’m drunk off my ass, and I’m very excited!
- (sound of waiter dropping a thousand plates) … I’m very sad I didn’t won the bingo.
- Does anything happen if I speak? … Arrrhh, it doesn’t do anything! (but it did)
- (program committee member enters the booth) … I think the program committee did a very good job
All in all a very good evening, and we’re looking very much forward to doing it even better next year.
