First timer at MacWorld

Who is doing the Keynote? Has Steve said he will be there?

 

Get there early, thats the only guaranteed way to get a good seat. Some people camp out. Mac Addicts will do anything to see Steve so be ready for an early start.
My feeling is that he will probably be there MWSF is pretty important.

 

Dont' worry, Steve will be giving it.

I've gone to these a few times in the past; even though the hall where the keynote takes place is HUGE, it's always nice to get as close as possible to the stage. But there are large screens hanging from the ceiling all over the place, so you won't miss any of the close up action if you're in the middle or the back.

The drill is...get to bed EARLY the night before...and get up EARLY the day of.

Seriously, I got up at 4:00 a.m. the day of the keynote and stumbled over to the auditorium at about 5:00. There's at least 100-300 people already there. Now, considering the seating capacity, that's not too bad. But, considering that this is an anniversary year (20th for the Macintosh, 25th for Apple) I expect this one to be VERY well attended.

It's usually colder that a you-know-what this time of year, so dress warm, bring a novel, lots of magazines, a camera, and your PowerBook. You'll be hanging around doing nothing out in the cold dark of the sidewalk for a looong time. But the payoff is sweeeeet.

Think about it...what other event in computing generates such Rock Star excitement? You'll have the time of your life, even though what I've described above DOES test ones' endurance a bit.
