Wil Shipley

In another life some indie devs were asked to give talks at Apple. We were in a small-ish theater (I don’t know exactly which campus) and it was gorgeous.

The sound system was the best I’d ever heard, and so I added The Alan Parsons Project’s “Sirius” to the intro slide, and told the sound board person to fade it out after all the good bits.

READER, IT WAS MAGICAL.

I don’t even remember what my talk was about but I sure remember how well that song hit. Check it out if you’ve forgotten it!

@wjs sounds like “Town Hall”.

@pbur Neat! What building/complex is that in? I’d kind of like to see it again.
Show threadPatrick BurlesonMar 12, 2023
@wjs it’s in IL4.

@pbur Can I badge into IL at all with my AP badge?
Show threadPatrick BurlesonMar 12, 2023
@wjs you should be able to get into the lobby of any building during normal business hours. Town Hall is off the IL lobby.

@pbur @wjs A lot of the first floor of most of the buildings is accessible too by anyone with a badge.

@pixel @pbur @wjs I think Town Hall itself has badge readers on it now tho’

@pbur Also would you agree the sound system ROCKED THE MUDDER FLOCKING HOUSE‽
Show threadPatrick BurlesonMar 12, 2023
@wjs I’m honestly not sure I heard music played there. But I did watch an episode of a TV show in it. And it did sound pretty good.

@wjs Wow, I haven't thought about APP since college!
