Because I'm staying at a hotel right across the street from the convention center, I can apparently connect from the little patio area where there are tables I can use to work on stuff between things I'm interested in. There's a roasting lecture from a consultant based not too far from me that I plan to check out soon.
When I saw the title of the lecture, my immediate reaction was, "oh no, this could be such a train wreck." But then I saw who was delivering that and changed my opinion to, "okay, I'd like to hear what he has to say on that topic."
