VMworld 2013 is done. SDxCentral didn't make it to Wednesday night's grand bash (where Train apparently played), nor, more tragically, to the pre-show v0dgeball tournament for charity. (Spoiler alert: EMC won.)

But we did make it to the exhibit hall, and we took lots of pictures. Here's a selection from the Tuesday afternoon Hall Crawl, because everything is better when the booths are serving up beer. Enjoy.

How can people learn which booths have beer?
Brian Sparks and Kelly Cody of Mellanox use the direct approach.

The theme was "Defy Convention." That didn't include defying the convention of having a beer crawl.

Who cares what Neverfail does? They've got Galaga!

Time to play Spot Plexxi VP of Marketing Mat Matthews.

V-locity: Now with 50% more beer spills.

Violin recently filed for an IPO, and you can tell how happy they are about it. (Booth staffers declined to do a posed photo.)

Nutanix came up with a pretty good giveaway.

VMworld's smallest showgoer got as much attention as any booth.

"Bring me the head of [insert executive here]!" That's probably not how Eaton wants you to
virtualize your management.
