Boston, Day 1
Jul. 30th, 2006 08:44 pm... was not a very eventful day really, though I was pretty excited by getting to be in the exhibition hall at SGGRAPH and watching everybody set up their booths. Adobe. Pixar. Softimage. Bluesky. And, as we kept reminding
anzovin solely for the whole purpose of watching him grin like a total doof, Anzovin Studios. :)
Really not much to be told here, we spent most of today doing setup. I did find out rather the hard way that Andees do need to feed once every four hours or so as right around 4 my caffiene and blood sugar crashed pretty severly, leaving me rather unable to talk. It's a little scary stumbling around places being able to hear and see everything around you and yet feel completely and utterly disconnected from it. I was eventually rescued from screensaver mode by Raf buying me pretzels and pepsi which did revive me some until actual dinner.
So tomorrow it seems that
sundart and I get to go wander Boston, as it seems the crew doesn't really need us tomorrow (the public exhibitions, not executions like I originally wrote, apparently start on Tuesday). I currently sit here with several windows open as I try to pin possible destinations to T stops.
jade_eyes13's suggestion of the Public Gardens seems like a good one, especially since I've wanted to see the Swan boats since reading The Trumpet of the Swan when I was a kid. We might wander around Newbury Street, the MFA, Harvard Square, and may even see Bosslady for a little while after she's done having tests run at MGH.
sundart has pointed out that I am only all about walking for miles in cities. Which isn't exactly true, but I can admit that destinations at the end of long walks are only optional in cities. :) So yeah, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, rather avidly in fact. It's kinda fun playing tourist, though I am hurting for a good camera. Oh well, I'll have loads of crappy cell phone pics to post. :)
Well, back to playing with me virtual legos. I really must say for the fifth time or so... thank the powers that be for wireless internet...
