I leave for AGDC on Sunday at the very respectable hour of 9am. It sounds like … despite some worries … Ike will be kind to the conference. So, as I tend to do, I want to share with you my list of ’stuff what I’m going to go see’. I’m even in one of these – again. Eddiemae with Triplepoint asked me to sit in on a panel about PR and MMOs. I guess I probably know a thing or two about that now. It’s at 9:30 on Wednesday, and I promise not to be too boring. I also promise to be awake. Unfortunately, that’s about all I can promise.

Check out the list after the cut.
