The first day of ANA lived up to the rep. The Hall was packed for each speaker, and the dessert was incredible, at least at lunch. The dinner dessert deserves a
comment. Try to picture this: a large Dunkin' Donuts style frosted jelly doughnut (or is it donut?) rests center-plate upon a drift of chocolate sauce. Â
 Upon the donut resides a dolop of coffee ice cream upon caramel snap of some sort. and upon the ice cream, like a yalmukah, radar dish or sombrero, a sugared lemon wedge. I
was astonished, I'd never been served quite this sort of dessert. But it was good. I'll allow that.
But I've gotten side tracked. Lunch conversation was with the good
folks from ISC (International Speedway) who own Daytona Int'l Speedway. The company, which owns 12 Nascar raceways in the US has just gotten approval is looking to build a joint-venture
casino at their Kansas.
At dinner I sat with...oh crap, I left his card upstairs...the veep marketing at Adobe. Very interesting conversation and much more interesting than the
events onstage.
And, of course, the conference itself was great, even the presentation by video from Anne Funicane of B of A.
