Inspired by Dan Vega's Top 10 things he is looking forward to, I thought I would just post my top ten expected surprise announcements/events at this years CFUnited. This list is not to be confused with last years list, which was probably more funny.

This year we will not be getting backpacks. Instead we all get snuggies.
On 2:30 PM Thursday afternoon the staff of the resort is forced to pull Peter Bell from the pool, where he has been floating on an inflatable alligator and working for a full 30 hours non stop.
Open Bar for the entire week. The resort goes dry in 3.5 hours. Liz brings in extra booze by helicopter.
Todd Sharp, Ray Camden, Dee Sadler, and Ben Nadel will be doing a barber shop quartet number to close out the show.
Adobe announces a new webOS. Adam Lehman and Ben Forta demo how easily it can connect to our LDAP, send mail, read PDF's and create spreadsheets. Turns out ColdFusion 9 was really a double secret codename all along.
Rumors about a supposed CF Fight Club materialize with a splash during the SciFi BOF.
One exhausted exhibitor will decide not to follow the passport card model of previous years, and simply punch a visitor instead.
Nobody will complain about WiFi.
#OMGWHATDIDIDRINKLASTNIGHT will become a trending topic on twitter based on what started off as a friendly discussion of which is better, scotch or tequila.
The most popular session every day turns out to be the golf course to the shock of no one.

I am really excited to see everyone next week. If I am not in a session or at the Savvy Software booth look for me at the bar or pool. :-)

Hmm, I can't sing but apparently that won't stop me. Dancing on table tops is more my style. ;)

And if they'd just thought to disconnect my power cable they could simply have waited another 8 hours until I ran out of juice and I'd have come in on my own without the struggle . . .
