The countdown to the keynote is on. I am planning to get up at 4:30, down a Starbucks double shot lite, eat an apple and a Cliff bar, grab my folding chair and backpack, and head down to Moscone West. Last year, we might not have gotten in the main room, had it not for Chris determination and sheer size. We ended up kneeling on the floor behind a row of chairs. Not bad location to see. Eventually the person in the seat in front of Chris got up and moved. Possibly because he got tired of having Chris breath in his ear.
In order to properly prepare for tomorrow, Kathy and I completely exhausted ourselves. We walked to Moscone, to get our badges. Later we took the cable car to the top of Lombard street (the famous twisting street), walked down to Columbus Ave, and walked through the North Beach area. We settled on the Stinking Rose restaurant, famous for garlic dishes for lunch. Then we walked back to Caffe Puccini for some espresso and a bit of rest. On to City Lights bookstore. The down Grant street and cruised Chinatown doing a little shopping. Finally straggled back to the room. Kathy was too tired to go out, so I am sitting at the Caffe Espresso after a veggie panini and salad. Just wonderful!

I will be trying to listen to the Stevenote live if that is possible. Give a yelp and maybe I will be able to hear you! Anyway, great update to the blog and great stories. I am taking the trip vicariously. Stendhal Syndome - I will have to remember that. Really looking forward to hearing how you liked the keynote.
