Haven't been able to track you or Misc down to fetch my Macworld t-shirt? Drop me an e-mail so we can meet!

Thx!

I didn't see any MacNN people today. ::shrug::

It'd be nice if we can solidify a time and place, just so I can make sure I get a shirt tomorrow, instead of chancing it (in vain) like today.

Speaking of which. Any of you people AtAT fans? I didn't see Jack Miller at the Internet Caf� at 2:30.... sigh. No shirts today! And I expected two.

Yeah, sorry about that, guys. We were at the keynote in the press section and then we moved to the press room way downstairs, which is where we do most work. I have the shirts, I'll bring them down with me tomorrow and keep them in that room. Someone from MacNN will almost always be in that press room, so if you stop by there at some point during the day you should be able to pick up your shirt (assuming you ordered it before, obviously).

This is the "Press Working Room" or whatever, not the Press Lounge or the Press Conference Room.

Stop by and pick 'em up -- I know -Q- has one because it has his name on it.

Hehe, I was in the Press Work Room two times and I *SAW* Monish, but the person at the desk said that there was no MacNN people in there. What a bunch of dunkey crap. PBD, your parents were suprisingly nice. Anyway, I'm back at home now, so everyone else have a fun time at MWNY. Guys, check out the Maya booth, they do some nice work!

(being typed from a PowerBook G4 in the Apple booth)

Hey guys! I haven't seen a MacNN person here at all. I'm wearing a white shirt with MacNN logos on it. If you see me, give me a hollar. I'll stop by the press booth or whatever and see if I can see anyone there. Meanwhile, I'm going to hang around the Apple booth for a little while longer. Come meet me here!

Get back to work, Puma!

-Q-, you never emailed me back about the CD's! If you have any please give them to Gorgy. He has to send me my shirt and he will put the CD's in the package.

Its a shame I couldn't meet you, -Q-, TheJoshu, Puma, Monish, Typoon, Cube-Dude, Lauren, or Ben...

Hey guys. I would like to share with you a conversation I just had regarding my home-made MacNN t-shirt.

&lt;guy next to me&gt; Hey, nice shirt.
&lt;me&gt; Oh, thanks. So... do you, go to MacNN?
&lt;guy&gt; I own MacNN.
&lt;me&gt; Uh......
&lt;guy&gt; I'm Monish.

It was pretty scary. Anyway, I recorded a video on one of the Power Macs, and I tried to post it on my iDisk, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. If you're in the neighborhood, head over to the Apple booth and watch it. It's on the Power Mac third from the right in the row that's closest to the center of the room. It should be on the desktop, unless someone deleted it. I'm gonna hang out here a little while longer. I have to leave in about half an hour.

Got the MacNN t-shirt. Almost took Misc's. He's lucky I didn't walk away with it. I noticed before I took the escalator up. So now I have one that isn't customized.

Got the shirt and met the guys this afternoon!

Had my picture request politely refused. So Monish will continue to remain the mysterious man behind MacNN....

OK, that was written from a PowerBook G4, in the thirty seconds while I was chatting with the Apple guy - solely so he wouldn't kick me off before I sent it.

I didn't notice until later, when getting my AtAT shirt, that it is indeed customized and "TheJoshu" is on one of the sleeves. How nice!

No, Monish wasn't wearing his MacNN shirt. But he got pictures of me in mine! Maybe I can get them from him sometime. BTW, did anyone see the video I made?

No don't slay Ben, he does 1/4 of the news articles on MacNN. Ben is a senior editor!
