hugmeI got up and took a shower, Monster and I synced our radio's, Monster wanted to get up at 8:00, I told him he was nuts and talked him into 9:00. My first panel was at 10, the opening cerimonies. Priest spoke and every time he opened his mouth I realized more and more of what an asshole he is. he talked about not dehydrating and the camera rule. then he brought up a speaker who was talking about Mitnik and other hackers and crackers who have been arested. All three of us looked at each other and with a WTF and then promptly left. I had a little time before my next panel so I went to check out the dealers room. it was really crowded! ass to elbow. I couldn't check out much, I will tomorrow. Some of the T-shirts were neat but most of them were pretty lame. From there I worndered into the 'newbie' room., there was someone talking about how to do a DOS attack.Why the hell would you want to have a panel on that?!? I walked out and headed to the 'hberhaxor' room. The panel was silly, I left and headed to the dealers room. Anges was there and I talked to him for a while before I went to the pink taco inside the hard rock hotel with rockit monster and a couple of other guys. we talked about girls and computer ;-)
I got back from lunch and was late for Nomad's panel. damn, at least I got to see the last part of it. He is a really good speaker; However he was put in the 'general' room. Stupid Defcon thing #1 - A tent on a roof in 112 degree weather is a REALLY BAD FUCKING idea. His speach was goood , he used some strange pictures for his speach - very Gigerish. I attempted a couple more panel, nothing good. I went to the dealers room again and checked out the merchendice a little. For dinner Rockit and I too Angus and hacksec to dinner. we went to a nice restraunt and had 8 waiters, there was a pimp and is girls at the next table. he tried the entire meal to get us to take them home. I harrassed the staff a lot (as usual). At the end of the meal the waiter asked why we were in Las Vegas, to which I replied "to attend a hacker convention" and he responded "Isn't that illegal?" We did some explaining and he was guienly interested (or so he led us to believe) I had a wonderful meal of filitte Minion. at the end I was completely stuffed.
The dealers room this year sucked!! the hardware was WAY over priced there were few good t-shirts. There was a group there with large breasted females who all had what looked like COC on their shirts, I thought it was 'chicks on computers', no, the girls had been hired to wear the shirts and they were advertising for dis.org (the first letter wasn't a backwards C it was a D without the line) a group who does horrible things to the hacking community. I was not at all pleased with that and I think that pretty much the entire convention was mad at them. for fun I would pretend to flirt with them when in fact I was insulting the hell out of them. If only they were bright enough to know that we wern't laughing 'with' them. I made friends with several people. Some of the new Moloc crew and a phreaker and her husband. she gave me a free shirt :-) I hung out in the lobby for a while and met a lot of new people, handing out atlantacon stickers the entire time. met a girl with beautiful farie tattoo's all over her back. she gave ma a postcard with her picture on it, unfortunatly it didn't show the tats. Met up with the phone girl who said she had put her daughter to bed and wanted to go out doing stuff. So we went and hung out on the strip then went downtown to the lights show. it looked as if it would be pretty neat if we would have made the show; However by the time we got there it was 3:30 in the morning and the show ends at 12. We made it back to the hotel in time to join the "sunrise and run on the roof" crew. Watched most of the sun rise over the mountians, when it got to the point where we could feel it we all went back to our rooms. I got to bed at about 6:30. Had to wake Monster up to get in.
Earlier today I tried to join the CTF network, hop on the internet and play some CTF, The network would be up for 2-3 minuites then would go down for 30 minuites or so. it was worthless to try and do anything!!!
