Just another exciting time of the year. July hits and its time for Bsides Brisbane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year I attended with a mate from Crowdstrike. Talk about the drama omg gezz trying to organise was like herding cats. There was suppose to be serveral of us but at lass it was not to be. Running around finding ticket organising accom and flights, well I drove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting on the friday I left from home on the midnorthcoast and headed north short time later …(4.5hrs) Arrived is Brisbane. Dropped by a distributor pickup some more PDU’s for the accumulating racks I have. (I swear there propergating…. Honest!) Then head over to accomadation on Queen st and head to the pub for a well desired beer !!! while i awaited my side kick for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per usual once he arrived we head out for our Favourite Dish face melting hot wings at winghaus. Defferently somewhat different to ones we get in sydney but tasty none the less. We then had another mate rock up from crowdstrike and we proceeded to Felons Brewing Co for a few pints. after that head back to hotel for some much needed rest before the Con.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day of the Con Saturday 15th July<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We head down to QUT where the Con was being held. Was a bit of a hike but we did take the long path around head down to the river and following it around to QUT, First stop COFFEEEEEE we found a coffee cart in a shipping container on the way in. Where we ran into one of the boys from CrikeyCon CTF organisers. We grab some brew and zig zag our way down to Z block. As we got closer and closer we started to be surrounded by the black hoodies lol such a cliche but were not any better we were both wearing black hoodies as well lol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now its my turn to head to registation and checkin omg I usual am propared for this but today for what ever reason it slipped my mind. I kept letting poeple pass as I hunt through emails for the QR code. Arh ha found it just as i was being asked by the person behind the counter for my name. I grab my VIP pack( special VIP Tshirt and head over to pick up the general Tshirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then head to grab more coffee before we head in. We order “that going to be 40min wait” the Lass behind the counter WTF to that omg really gezz I look over the count to see 30 or so orders. Seems someone forgot to staff correctly for 500 attendees with a coffee account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
