Every year Oracle throws a customer appreciation party with a concert, free food and alcohol
for the attendees of the Oracle OpenWorld conference. As Oracle has swallowed other technology
companies i.e. Sun Microsystems, Peoplesoft, Siebel, Bea Systems, Hyperion, etc etc etc this
event has become quite large. The headliners also tend to be big names. This year it was Sting
and Tom Petty. It is held on Treasure Island and they bus 20K-40K people and there is no parking.
This is a hassle but for the 2011 lineup I was willing to go for it. I attend the conference but
do not pay for a full admission so it means I have to find a wristband for entrance to the party.
I was able to secure a wristband and got over on one of the earlier busses with a friend and former
client. Grabbed some food but avoided the bad beer and wine. Its all you can drink so peopel who
don't get out much get stupid and drunk. We were able to get a spot on the rail to the right of
the center aisle as the crowd filled in. Show opened with a moment of silence to homor the passing
of Steve Jobs. This was followed by a set by Sting. After Sting my friend bailed on me and ended
up in a corporate area with better food and drinks. I was left to fend for myself with the drunks.
All in all a bit more chatter than I prefer but really good sound system and being in the right
location makes this a must have.
