No one should say that standing in the security line at the airport can't be inspiring. Half awake I wondered, when I will see the first SAP Mentor on my trip.
I love the thought of all of these 6K+ SAP TechEd && d-code participants coming into Las Vegas over the next couple of days. Wishing everyone a safe and uneventful trip.
Well, you can make it a bit more fun, by playing the #FirstMentorSpotting game.
If you see any of the SAP Mentors, 60+ of them are on the way to Las Vegas this week too, thinking about it, we are roughly 1 of every 100 participants.
Take a picture and post it to Twitter with the hashtag: #FirstMentorSighting #SAPtd and you can collect points.
No these are not SCN points, not redeemable for anything but bragging rights and a drink at the bar for the leader.
If you are the leader and you meet me at a bar, I buy you a drink :-)
Here are the rules as posted on Twitter:
New #SAPtd game: #FirstMentorSighting 1000 points if before airport - 500 if not @ LAS - 300 @ LAS - 200 @ Venetian @sapmentors

In summary:
If you spot an SAP Mentor take a picture and tweet it out.
- On the way to #SAPtd, but before any airport, you get 1000 points
- At any airport but not Las Vegas aka LAS 500 points
- LAS airport 300 points
- Venetian/Palazzo/Convention center 200 points
Bonus points
- 500 if you spot an SAP Mentor in the taxi line at LAS plus 500 if you share a ride to the Venetian :-)
- 200 points if you recognize a SAP Mentor without shirt on
- 400 points for an SAP Mentor Alumnus as they are rare sightings at #SAPtd
- 400 extra points for a total of 800 points if you see an SAP Mentor Alumnus wearing a vintage SAP Mentor shirt as that is an even rarer find.
- <please come back to this post to check for updates. New point opportunities may be added or subtracted at any moment>
Oh and yes I can play too. I make the rules, but I don't like to pay myself a drink, so don't worry about me being in the lead.
Good luck.
At 7pm Karin Tillotson is in the undisputed leader with with 1600 points.
Hope to see her soon in a bar soon. Once I bought you a drink, your points are reset.
Happy SAP Mentor hunting :-) Susan Keohan started to use the #findus hashtag in her tweets to make it easier.
