Four (or five if you count the kaffe klatches) tracks! Already sad to be deciding which of many choices I will have to skip in order to see other things, but excited in any event! And (so far, two panels unannounced) not going to have to miss any must-see presentations when I am up.

It is really going to be difficult to be in five places at once!

The one advantage of being in the upside-down hemisphere is that the only choice is to miss ALL must-see presentations...
