One of the first areas Google Dance attendees see upon entry to the Google Dance is a row of booths where Google "white coats" demonstrated each of the many Google tools and services. This booth was the demo for Google Desktop Search. The Dt on the sign stands for "Desktop" in the style of the Periodic Table of the Elements used for the Google Dance or "Gd" and "Co" for Google Co-op.

The sign at the entrance of the Google Dance for "Club G" where it was too dark to take any worthwhile photographs. But everyone knows what a dance looks like, so I'll leave that to your imagination.

Revelers filled the exterior courtyard of this area of the Googleplex where beer flowed, barbecued food was plentiful, karaoke video (ya hadda be there - so no photos) and great desserts were served.
