We had a great time in Pittsburgh. It was a solid event and we even went to Primanti Brothers afterwards for some giant sandwiches with cole-slaw. We just saw that a few of the people from the Pittsburgh Flash user group captured the day on video and had to share it. Go check it out. Thanks for a great time!
Last night we were in Cincinnati, which was the half way point of the North American portion of the bus tour. The event went really well, and we had a really good turnout (had to bring in some more seating). It was held in an old church and the only issue that we ran into was that the microphone system kept going down because we kept blowing fuses (I guess the church’s wiring system wasn’t made to handle 60 laptops being plugged in at once).
Some of the highlights of the tour thus far:

For the third leg of the tour we’ve been taking a lot of video footage at the events and I’m going through the process of encoding it and posting them up on my Brightcove account. For the most part it’s just random stuff, but hopefully it gives you an idea of the venues and the things we think about when not doing AIR stuff.
Just a quick reminder, but the second leg of the on AIR Bus tour starts today in Atlanta. Over the next 10 days we will be in 9 cities in the midwest and on the East coast talking about Adobe AIR.
You can find a complete list of cities on the schedule page, and can register here.
Mike Chambers just posted the video of Kevin Lynch’s keynote at the Seattle event. In the keynote Kevin gives an overview of Adobe AIR, shows off some of the applications people are building with it and talks about the Adobe Platform. Enjoy!
You can find additional dates for AIR Camp here.
We just finished up the first leg of the bus tour which was a huge success. We will be posting a more in-depth recap as soon as we take a couple of days to recuperate.
In the meantime, we received a number of requests to post the play list of the music played during the breaks at the AIR Camp events.
So here it is:

We are recording a bunch of video’s on the tour, including all of the session and plan to start posting these online next week. However until then, some of the people riding the bus have posted some of their own videos:

Huge thanks to everyone who attended the Los Angeles event. It was the largest so far by attendance and it lasted over 12 hours with a lot of people still sticking around until the very end while the mini presentations were going on. This venue was probably my least favorite out of all of them, but we did have an entire auditorium to ourselves, so I think for the people watching it must have been more comfortable.
The food in Los Angeles was also really good. They had a ton of stuff for us to eat throughout the whole day. It consisted of things like poppers, pretzels, a nacho cheese machine that you could use to create nachos, grilled items for lunch and a spread of fruit, cookies and other thing from throughout the day. It wasn’t all good for us, but it tasted great. This is why we’re doing a weight loss competition on the next leg. Thanks to all that attended. Below are some blog-thoughts on the event.
