Ok, just to see who here is crazy enough / lucky enough / insane enough to go to MWSF, sign in here.


I'm not there yet; landing in Oakland at 12:00pm tomorrow, PST.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

I'm going to be watching live text feeds of the keynote tomorrow.

However, I want to warn everyone right now: tomorrow we shall witness an unprecedented amount of bitching. Probably 3-4 times more than the standard bitching after a keynote.

So put on your life preserver and prepare for the maelstrom of whining that will flood the Mac community tomorrow.

I think Montanan said he was going, but I'm not for certain.

I'm in the city, but I just started a new career so timing will be tricky. I have a lot of training and meetings to attend, for the next 5 weeks actually. I'll try to make time to visit the x hall. What time does the hall close (6pm? 8pm?)

I am here right now, flew in at 4pm. Dinner at one of my favorite SF Chinese restaurants already, and now surfing doing some work before sleepy time.

Will be at the keynote tomorrow.

Cheers all!

Can't wait for the bitching to begin!

But no one else showed up! :-p

Dammit, I was coming from Oakland as fast as I could (my plane landed at noon and BART was a pain). Sorry I missed you guys.

I really loved the macworld I went to in 2001, and I wish I would have enough money to be one of the guest to one of them. His keynotes addresses are so interesting and entertaining. I think (if I am not wrong) that he was one of the first one to use this format. And he is so incredibly brilliant, as anyone looked at Apple today compared to the one in 1998 when the shares were really down and so was the company. It took someone like him to bring that company from the brinks of disaster and with some courageous company make it into the most artisitic company in the world. He makes computers look cool.

I drove in Wednesday from the South Bay. It took me roughly 1/2 hour to get to a convention hosted by the company that I actually live 2 minutes away from (Aye caramba!).

Anyways, I took pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46233637@N00/sets/1826068/.
