There are a number of wonderful guides for getting the most out of attending the RSA security conference. \u00a0SpaceRogue<\/a> and Violet Blue<\/a> have written two that come to mind. \u00a0Here’s my take on the event thus far…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. In keeping with all of my previous tradition, I am religiously avoiding the Moscone center with all of my might. \u00a0I haven’t been within 4 blocks of it this year. \u00a0That’s\u00a0nothing<\/em> in comparison to previous years, where I would travel to other cities or even other countries so as to celebrate being as far from the RSA conference as possible. \u00a0I’m not doing quite as well this year, having flown into the San Francisco for BSides, but I’m still earning my gold star and free pencil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. I started my morning\u00a0walking around town, checking out the quaint trolleys and enjoying the city. \u00a0I don’t think I could ever live here (or anywhere in California, your nutty politics are a bridge too far) but it’s wonderful to have an excuse to visit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. I basked in the lovely weather. \u00a0I sat in a city park where it seems everyone was getting stoned.\u00a0 I bought far too many hot dogs from a local vendor.\u00a0 I enjoyed only one of these bread-borne encased meat logs. \u00a0The rest went to local transients who always have the best stories and are interesting conversationalists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. I wandered back to the hotel, then prepared some steaks for in-room sous vide cooking. \u00a0With the meat and veg coming to temperature in the hot pot, I soaked in the hot tub.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. The steaks and the such are close to ready. \u00a0While the rest of you are up to your eyeballs in bright colors, badly-suited hairdos fluent in douche-speak, and Cyber Cyber Cyber, i’m in a heavenly bed staying still enough to not tip over my wine glass while watching a downloaded episode of Murder She Wrote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think I’ve got this whole RSA thing on fucking lock.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll see all of you over drinks and such in the evenings. \u00a0Friends and camaraderie… that’s what this event (or any big-dollar con, frankly) should be about. \u00a0If you can master that part, you’ll do just fine.<\/p>\n
