Here are a few of my favorite VMblog photos taken while at VMworld 2013 in San Francisco.

1. Thought this chalk
drawing at the Acronis
booth was awesome!
Watched it come to life
every time I passed their
booth. Love the 3D
effect from these things.

2. Free custard?
Seriously? Who didn’t
see this guy driving
around in front of the
Moscone Center during
VMworld 2013.
Everytime we left the
building, there he was.
Pretty cool idea
Microsoft.

3. I love this shot taken in
the Hang Out space at
VMworld 2013. Who
didn’t need a recharge
on their device at this
show?

4. Cool way to pass some
time while in the Hang
Out space at VMworld
2013.

5. While walking around the
expo hall for hours on
end at VMworld, I
noticed there was a lack
of seating in that place.
These seats were very
comfortable and a
welcomed treat.

6. Doesn’t everyone know
about the rubber chicken
at VMworld and VMUG
shows? I was thrilled to
add a much smaller
version to my key ring.

7. I’m a Star Wars junkie!
So when I saw this in the
case, I absolutely
flipped. YES! SCAN
ME!! I knew I wouldn’t
win, but it was worth a
shot. I was not the
person they were looking
for… so I moved along.

8. VMblog interviewed PHD
Virtual at VMworld, and I
had to get a photo of this
shirt… very cool! And
the Zombie at their booth
really made them stand
out as well. Sort of a
creepy dude, but it
worked.

9. Way to go Simplivity.
Now if I were going to
win ANYTHING at
VMworld – this should
have been it.

10. Remember when I said I
was a Star Wars junkie?
Well this thing caught my
eye in a big way. So
cool. Had to snap a
photo of this one.

11. My kids LOVED the
Zenoss Zenny. Didn’t
take too many things
back with me from the
show. But Zenny made
it.

12. If you didn’t make it to
the 2nd annual
SolarWinds and VMblog
vMixer party – shame on
you! You missed one
heck of a party. We had
a great time. Good
food, drinks, trivia and
conversation.

13. No matter what the show
or event, SolarWinds
buttons always go over
well. This was a cool
shot.

14. Yes, people love
VMware. And
evidently, they love weird
little heart shaped
headed green things
too, because they were
moving boxes of these
things real quick like!

15. Had to include this shot.
This was taken during
the SolarWinds and
VMblog vMixer party.
Just an all around cool
photo, don’t you think?

16. One of my favorite
booths at the show –
VMTurbo. This catch the
wave booth came
complete with a surf
board video
game, where attendees
could play for top score
and a cool prize.

17. This year’s VMworld
2013 event was the 10th
anniversary of the show.
And this year was
definitely the biggest
event yet for VMware.

18. I’ll say it, these people
freaked me out. Very
weird. It would have
been one thing for them
to stay within the
confines of their
booth, but when they
were roaming around…
creepy.

19. Spend a fair amount of
time hanging out in the
Hang Out room – a great
place to be when we
weren’t at the Expo Hall
or the press room
making things happen.
Great job here VMware.

20. I’ve been involved with
VMware since 1999. So
it was fun to see the time
line wall and remember
the old days. This was a
great idea and well
executed.
