Quick question -
Is there WiFi access in the Moscone center? In certain parts? Or?

I'll leave that to you early risers. While I'd love to go, waking up at 5:45 is brutal for a night owl like me.

The irony is I'll be so jetlagged that the 11th is probably on of three or four days out of the year where I'd actually be up early enough to go the Keynote. Maybe I'll mug someone outside that looks old and frail.

just a little reminder bump.

keynote people: i'll be in line at 6:30am or so, depending on when i want to leave my comfortable hotel bed. you can look for my nametag, or giant dark blue umbrella (if it's raining). my hair isn't a funky color this year, so that's no help. sorry.

tuesday people: let's meet out in front of the north hall at 12:30. we can decide on lunch from there. if it's raining, we'll meet inside the doors. we can always jog over to the metreon if don't want to go far.

i'll have a few blank nametags for anyone who shows up.

Pretty Cool! Here at the W there are some people on the network... lot's of shared iTunes music! (Ok, maybe I'm easily impressed, but I never saw shared music work before.)

You picked up your pass? I didnt get mine from ambrosia yet (i wonder if i will get it in time, the mail comes around 2pm in the afternoon.
*sigh* i also went down to borders, but what they gave me was a post card like thing, with a registration number to register online. it says to register before december 10th to receive the badge in the mail. that's long past. so ... i dunno if i'm going to be at macworld... =/ I wonder if they will let me use that free pass postcard thing to get in.

anyone feel like grabbing me a pass (from ambrosia's booth?)
anyways, hopefully someone will post here tonight to let me know what's up.. =(

have a good time guys.

I'm sure SOMEONE will provide updates. Then after when the expo is open there are tons of macs which everyone will post from. No worriers by noon the news will be all over the net.


And we will get going to lunch.

should i still go out and grab lunch with you guys if i dont go to the expo? (seems ambrosia didnt get 'em out to me in time (i didnt get it in the mail)...

dang i grabbed a postcard thingy at borders. maybe i'll go down there and tell 'em that they said it was good for a ticket/badge. why else would they give it to me considering the opening is today...

i headed back home today, sorry chaps.

nice to meet up with those of you who came on Tuesday though: Cheerios, Juanvaldez, their friend Scott, Montanan, Daimoni (ever so briefly), Stogieman, and Elzinat (random, i know).
and special thanks to Stogieman who let me cut with him in line at the keynote (he arrived at 5. i didn't show up until 6).
