Well, the day’s festivities are coming to an end.  The reception at the Partner Pavilion was packed, and there was lots of great food and drink there!  Josh already has lots of great photos from the Partner Pavilion up.

I have heard rumors that the attendance is down slightly this year, but that is expected given the state of the economy right now.  But there is definitely a big crowd here!  We should hear actual numbers tomorrow at the First General Session.

Speaking of tomorrow’s General Session, I am very much looking forward to it!  Jeff Ray will be interviewing Sir Richard Branson of the Virgin Group live on stage!

Well, I hear tell that there are some Blackjack lessons of some sort going on somewhere here in the Dolphin hotel with one of the original players from the MIT Blackjack Team depicted in the movie 21…  So I am off to see if I can learn a thing or two!
