CA folks are easy to spot

At this conference up in Redmond, and I'm in a room with maybe 75 other people. During introductions, I would take a guess at who was from CA and who was local (before they would say). I was about 90% accurate.

For the most part, attire gave it away (but strangely so did hair styles and facial appearance). For example, I'm probably one of the only women in the room rocking heels (these being one of my newest/fave pairs). The rest are wearing some version of a boot or hiking shoe. :)
