Prior to the start of the 2009 MVP Global Summit, I had a chance to check out one of the hip hotspots in Downtown Seattle. The venue is called Trinity and it's located in Seattle's Pioneer Square. From the outside, you wouldn't think Trinity was that big. However, once you walk inside Trinity boasts 4 different rooms, several bars and a host of dancing men and women enjoying the night away.

However, I didn't realize that Trinity was such a meat market. Don't get me wrong, I'm a guy. I can appreciate a good looking girl like the next guy, but when it's drizzling outside (especially in SEATTLE!) you really need to go for comfort versus flaunt. Some girls just didn't get the memo and came more dressed for the Adult Entertainment Expo than a night at Trinity (or maybe that *is* how they spend a night at Trinity). In any event, as long as everyone was having a good time that's all that matters, right?

My evening at Trinity was hosted by Jessica Zahn, a member of the Zune team and her hubby John. It's one of the places that they frequent so last night was a chance to experience it first hand. I was also joined by fellow Zune MVP Grahm Skee (of AnythingButiPod) who was just as into the electronic music as Jessica.

Now I have to admit, I grew up on hip-hop, rap, jazz, rhythm and blues and music like that. When I initially walked into Trinity, the song playing was New Edition. I like New Edition, but I couldn't tolerate being in that room for more than 2 minutes. When I got into the Electronic room, it was like I was home (*tear* your little boy is growing up and dancing out of the box!)

However, today (Sunday) is now about getting down to business. We officially kick off the 2009 MVP Global Summit. Actually as you reach the end of this particular post, know that when I finished typing it I headed out to have some food and then register/check in. We get to have a welcome keynote today plus network with other MVPs, fellow Zune MVPs and our MVP Leads from Microsoft.
