I’ll be in San Francisco from April 30th to May 3rd for the Tibco User Conference, I discovered yesterday. I’m extending my trip another few days to see friends in the region. I’m looking forward to it. The Tibco software we’ve been working with so far has been impressive in its quality, and I haven’t been in Silicon Valley for a couple years now.

Ending up with that Ford Mustang was easily the most enjoyable rental experience I’ve ever had. Zipcar even refunded me the difference between the Mustang and Civic rental costs! And the car had… 94 km on the odometer!

Saturday the 21st was the first gorgeous weekend for Toronto this year, with strong sunlight, blue skies, and a light breeze. I had plenty of excuse to drive the car as I did my part in helping out with the wedding. A more accurate picture of what I had is below:

I have better pictures including the occupants on my flickr site, as part of my non-public pictures.

I totally understand the lure of a convertible now. Responsive to the gas and wheel, some noise and rumble for show, and the sun above and wind through the hair… And of course, looking the part with dark shades and lovely passsenger!

The wedding was enjoyable, too. No, really, I enjoyed it a lot, but that’s for another post.

I have a wedding to go to today, so I booked with ZipCar for a car – a Honda Civic. This morning, I wake up to read an email that I’ve reserved a Mustang Convertible. I’m stuck with it, as it’s passed the cancellation period, and I’m a little annoyed it’ll cost me almost twice as much for the day – but I’ve never driven a Mustang before. This will be fun.
