E3 jitters
After two miserable days of cold, damp and wet weather, it's glorious out today. In the upper 60's and sunny, with a brisk but pleasant breeze. We've got the windows open in the living room -- mainly for the cat's benefit, as spring is in the air and he's going nuts being stuck in the house.
It also gives me a taste of what I can expect for LA next week, which is predicted to be sunny and in the low to mid 70s all week.
Right now I'm prepping for a week-long trip to Los Angeles that starts next Monday, to go to E3. I'm really looking forward to it, as I always am, but this year in particular, as there are new consoles afoot and tons of new games I'm looking forward to getting my hands on for the first time.
One thing that really bugs me is how short E3 is: Although there are press events that run from Monday through the end of the week, the show itself is only really Wednesday through Friday, so I have to compress all my meetings into two short days (Friday is really kind of a waste of a day -- a good day to play clean up and view all the stuff I'd missed the prior two days).
If the past eight years remain consistent, I'll end the week wishing I could have cloned myself a dozen times over to see all the stuff I missed the first time around.
