And yes, I will be reading aloud every word as I type it.
Just to warn any eventual readers: This blog was never meant to be read by anyone except myself. Therefore, I am the intended audience, and I will attempt to be as tedious and boring as possible in every post, just to discourage anyone that may possibly stumble upon my blog from reading any further. This is simply to help me remember my trip, and is not in any way designed to entertain or even inform anyone else. You have been duly warned!
Today was day 2, I believe. Joel just said it is Day 1.
Today we landed in Paris, faced innumerable lineups (aka queues) and ate cat food (aka steak tartare).
So far we have met a bunch of people, and many whom we know from before and have not seen for ages. At supper I ran into Marisa Smith, who is now 23 and married.... I still have her locked in my memory as a precocious 10 year old.... Makes me feel old....
We went for a coffee around lunch time and some Frenchie bartender was making rude gestures after he saw our badges. What a loser. I invited him to the convention but I think he might have misunderstood me and thought that I was inviting him to hang out with us.
Found a nice little café just a block or so down the street; probably will become regulars there by the end of the week.
Our hotel is pretty nice, except the elevators are slooooooow.... And it's going to be a rush every day to get up and down before and after the sessions.... Well, what can you do. At least we didn't have to swim through crocodile infested waters to get here. Just nearly dying trying to cross the street through a traffic circle.
Well, that is it for today. Uploaded my pictures to Picasa, in case anyone wants to see them. But since no one even knows this blog exists, that is a pretty pointless comment.
P.S. Here is the requisite photo shot out the hotel room window.
