Yowsa, the blog has been busy today!  I suppose being just 14 days away, the interest level and excitement around Lotusphere 2004 is on the rise.
I'm just curious -- for all those googlers who are ending up here, or those just stopping by, what Lotusphere information are you seeking?  What info isn't out there yet that I can help you find?
Some reminders:

• You can find my session recommendations on lotus.com/weblog .  I started reviewing session content this morning, and I am pretty jazzed.  I looked through about 30 presentations, and only sent one back for revision and updating.  Some of the sessions are even better than I anticipated (no, I'm not going to tell you which ones those are).
• It's my intention to make the Turtle's Saturday night thing at the ESPN Club on the Boardwalk.  I believe there's another event on my Saturday agenda, so I might be late.  We'll see.
• Sunday, I'll be out there for the welcome reception, of course.  I have a Business Development Day presentation that goes to 6 PM, so I probably won't be first in line.  Also, I don't think I'll be as visible as vowe.
• The Wednesday night party is at Universal Studios Florida. This is not Islands of Adventure.  We haven't been to USFl since 1996, which I remember mainly because of the water show that was done on the big set in the center about 9 PM that night.  And Back to the Future.  And that I was in line for "Earthquake" behind Ray Ozzie.  Also, I don't know if there is or isn't a band, a DJ, or turkey legs.  We're all gonna be surprised.
• No, I can't tell you who the special guest speakers are -- honestly, I don't know.  Those are well-kept secrets.
• I can be bribed with sushi from Kimono's.  Heck, I can be bribed by sushi takeout from the Gooding's supermarket!

This week is a travel week -- As a few people have asked, yes, I'll be joining thousands of other IBMers in Las Vegas in a few days.  Should be a good time -- too bad I don't have any chance to see any shows, though.
