Hi All,

It's 8:36 AM, way to flippin early to be awake if you ask me, thank goodness for Starbucks, and here in Sunny SF you can't swing a dead shrew let alone a cat without hitting one.  Incidentally, I think I just figured out why pedestrians and drivers behave as they do here in the city - caffeine overload, but I digress...

I am here at the beautiful Palace Hotel preparing to start my busy day.  After scoping the space for a seat closest to an outlet I set myself up to let my fingers do the walking and my brain do the dribbling, this should be fun.  I went to the "Blogger's & Beer" event hosted by Good Ole Zillow last night and had a blast.  The venue was neat (but, boy was that room warm, I guess cramming all those folk just simmering with creativity will do that to a place), the food was... interesting.  Pulled Pork sandwiches rocked and the baked Mushroom Risotto was great but the spring rolls which I can best describe as spicy grass wrapped in a cold noodle took some palate cleansing.  Fortunately, there are Pizza places on just about every corner so life as I knew it could continue.

I am looking forward to learning about video blogging (Finally, all those years of theatrical training won't be wasted!) and hopeful that I will be able to successfully post my very first ever Video offering from this very event.  I am quite sure that finding someone who might know a thing or two about it shouldn't be difficult.

The room is filling up fast and my desire to mix and mingle with everyone is becoming almost unbearable.  It is always interesting to me to see where folks choose to sit at an event like this.  I am a convinced that there is some deep psychological meaning behind seating.  I am a confirmed front row type, I hate being behind anything, at anytime... I would continue to ramble on but the panel just started and I need to actually pay attention :-)

More later...

Take care all, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!
