I’m sitting here at my Podcasting Booth, which is unfortunately right next to the conference bookstore. I say “unfortunately” because, as a bookworm, I’ve already found two that I will be buying as soon as they officially open. It’s like those books held a vaccum cleaner up to my wallet and sucked the money right out!
… I have no willpower at all.
Here’s my assessment of what’s going on so far.
+Only took 7 minutes to realize that the horrible beeping noise I was hearing at 4AM this morning was my alarm going off. That’s not much earlier than my usual wake-up time, but it usually takes longer for me to get out of my more primitive “ART GUY SMASH SNOOZE BUTTON!” stage of regaining consciousness.
+Found a good parking spot in a garage right next to the conference hall.
-After trying two other parking lots.
-And it’ll cost almost $30. Ouch.
-When I got here Registration had no list with my name on it.
-Nor did they know where the podcasting booth was.
+A few minutes later they got their computers up and were able to answer both questions.
+Kathy Schrock signed in right next to me.
+She recognized me.
-This boosted my already overinflated ego.
+The wifi for the conference is working.
-For now.
So all things considered, I’d say I’m off to a good start. There are a few obstacles, but most of them are either already resolved or will be soon.
More to follow…

Great hat Aaron! Looking forward to hearing some great podcasts out of MICCA!
Thanks, so am I – although most of them won’t be created by me … I’m encouraging people to use Gcast to post some samples. http://www.gcast.com/user/miccaonline/podcast/
