I have no particular interest in Apple i$#!+ presentations... Though I've always been a fan of iMac, PowerMac, and PowerBook.
Microsoft has thrown some positively AWESOME events for the XBOX series of videogame consoles. And really, I haven't seen anything from Apple that comes even close. Food, drinks, hot chicks, live entertainment, and better than decent press swag.
I enjoyed the Tesla Motors 'D' Event, the only one of theirs I have attended. I believe they made an error, as they allowed invitees to bring too many people with them... So there were a whole bunch of kids, and that made the lines longer, and a crowd that was expected to be 'intimate' ended up being 'don't breathe standing room only' instead. If you did find some place to sit, someone might have sat in your lap...
They tried to fix it with the Model X Launch Event, by using a larger indoor venue, and limiting attendance to a +1... But it didn't work. I think that is why they went with The LOTTERY format and a hard ceiling on attendance for the Model ☰ Reveal. I expect that it will go well. Because it's the same venue as The 'D' Event, things should go much more smoothly. Heck, there were probably over 800 people in line behind me, when I got there late, and the place was already packed. So, maxing out the attendees, including press and their support, narrowing the field of other invitees to current owners and their +1s, then randomly selecting from among them should make for a very decent, comfortable, and on-time showing this week. I do recommend wearing comfortable shoes, long sleeves or a jacket, and arriving EARLY -- especially if you have foot, back, or knee problems and need to sit for a while.
