My epic travel day finally ended around 9:30 PST (12:30 EST) when I arrived in downtown Seattle. I grabbed by badge and hooked up with Buzz Bruggeman. We walked across the street to a dinner at the Marriott. The usual suspects were there: Winer, Canter, Gilmor, Scoble, Arrington, Farber, etc. At dinner I was glad to finally meet Richard McManus from Read/Write Web. He's up from New Zealand for a few weeks to do the conference circuit.

Buzz and I headed back to his apartment and I was able to get to sleep around 3AM EST, nothing like a 22 hour day :-)

At the conference this morning the wifi is slow as we knew it would be. That's what happens when you have hundreds of laptops in a single room. Chris Pirillo is getting ready to kick things off.

Geeky conferences like this are always interesting. Lots of people taking pictures and video, sort of a 'watching you, watching me' scenario.
