One hour before the Web Standards Group / National Macromedia User Groups meeting and already an eager crowd are securing their seats to see Russ Weakley and Sean Corfield.

It's after midnight on what is to be MXDU 2004: Day One. In the boardroom, Geoff Bowers pumps up the Conference A-Team with a powerful pep talk. It's less than 8 hours till leading-edge developers will stream into Star City. A few more hours here, and the A-Team can go home for only a couple of hours rest.
