Post X06 Update

So yeah, I'm off on a jetplane tomorrow for X06!

I've been sent my interview schedule this morning by Crissie and I get to chat to Shane Kim and CliffyB which is quite nice. I'd have liked to spoken to Peter Moore just because of the whole British connection but I'm not down for that. Perhaps I'll meet him later, that'd be kinda cool.

So, I've spent the morning writing out questions for various people and asking the BXB Community to submit their own (some of which will get me shot).

I've got almost every peice of equipement I can think of on charge at the moment and I'm still wondering whether I should take the laptop on with my hand luggage or not. I'm still not allowed liquids (which I'm sure is just a scam by the airlines to sell me stupidly priced drinks on the plane) but I've got just under half of a very good book to keep me occupied on the way over.

I've been instructed to meet up with Rob Cram (MSxboxworld) in the lobby of the hotel at 16:45! Which means I'll only have about an hour to kill before all the madness kicks off. Looks like it'll be a quick blog update then!

I've kind of reached a point where there doesn't seem much else to do until tomorrow. All I have to do now is wait.

Oh, I'll get some written directions to Heathrow incase Tom Tom fails me!

My next update will be from Barcelona!

I'm sure you'll have a great time Mike. Cliffy's a great guy to Interview, so you'll have fun there.

Shane Kim, never met him, but apparently, he's the typical "I will only say what I'm programmed to say" Microsoft employee.

However, Rob's a good bloke, and I wish you both the best of luck. And do please play Hears of War. it really is the shit!
