I’ll be going again this year it looks like. Last year’s event was a total blast. Seeing Wrath unveiled as well as playing hands on Starcraft 2<\/a> was amazing. Meeting the people I boss around in my guild<\/a> was cool too. =)<\/p>\n

Last year I toted my backpack everywhere which was pretty much useless. This year I’ll travel far lighter and leave the backpack. The area had wifi, but to sit down, break out the laptop, connect, then do whatever sort of distracted from the environment.\u00a0 Probably a shame too because I’d probably have more to write about or twitter about this year with Diablo 3<\/a> and Starcraft 2<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ll try to use my iPod Touch since I can update the site and tweet from there but I hate the keyboard.\u00a0 I’m currently in the Wrath beta so I guess I could start writing up some of my experiences and post some shots maybe.<\/p>\n

I saw lots of relatively famous people last year, obviously the Blizzard crew like Chris Metzen, Rob Pardo, then others like Richard Knaak, Leroy Jenkins, and journalists like Jessica Chobot<\/a>.\u00a0 I should gotten better pictures I guess.\u00a0 I ate great food<\/a>, drank the most<\/a> alcohol<\/a> I’d ever drinken in my life, and actually it wasn’t that much since I don’t usually drink which might be sad for some of you, and met a chinchilla<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m hoping for more of the same.\u00a0 A lot of the guildies want to have a Rock Band night so I’m looking forward to that, unless they make me sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
