Lotusphere Day 1 - Saturday...
Category Lotusphere 2005
Saturday is always a strange experience for me at Lotusphere. I red-eye'd in from Portland, so I'm sleep-deprived. I normally try to take in a park, but this year I skipped that. Since I was just down here in December, there didn't seem to be anything that I couldn't live without. So, early check-in at the Dolphin, and then a bit of relaxation... even sleep! But no... I dozed on and off for a couple of hours, but nothing I could claim as "restful". Oh, well... Lotusphere and sleep don't go together anyway...
I ran into Greyhawk, Bruce, Vince, and a number of others throughout the day in the Dolphin lobby... Joe showed up around 2:30'ish, got settled in the room, and then we did some practice for our session tomorrow. Tek-check at 6 pm, and everything looks good. The Swan 1-2 configuration looks like it will seat around 200 (there were no chairs there yet), so we'll have a "cozy" presentation. No worries... We have some fellow bloggers who will show up to be entertained (either laugh at or with us... yet to be seen).
The blogger dinner and the Gonzo party were great, as usual. Met new people, and reconnected with old friends. I called it a night relatively early, as I didn't want to screw up my voice any worse than the cold has already made it...
That's it for now. More to come on Sunday after we do the session...
