Trip has been mostly uneventful so far. Flight from Burbank took off on time and I didn’t get booted off the plane like my trip to Las Vegas. Activision flew us to SFO on United Express, their shuttle service. It’s the first time since I was a little kid in the South Pacific that I flew on a plane this small. 12 rows, one flight attendant. My head hit the roof as I walked down the aisle and I had to hunch over to work the bathroom. I forgot how different small planes are from the bigger ones I’m used to. You feel every change in the engine, much more so than on the bigger jets. It also seems much faster when taking off, although I’m sure that’s some sort of illusion. The guy sitting next to me made with the cross before taking off. Dude, it’s a small plane, not a death trap…I hope. This is also the first time I’ve flown into San Francisco and not been delayed.

Hotel is nice, but the room is tiny. Hell, this room is smaller than the one I had in London. The best part of the room is the balcony. I’m on the 16th floor of this Hilton here and the pool is right outside my room. Nice little sitting area. Too bad they don’t have WiFi or else I’d be using the laptop outside.

Walked around San Francisco a bit. I’m apparently in the middle of a big shopping district. Of course It’s all the same stores we have down in Los Angeles, so none of them interested me.

At 6:30 apparently the festivities begin. One of the nice things about this trip is Activision is having all participants sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and any news from this event is embargoed until Monday. So, that means no rush back to the room to type things up. I can relax a bit tonight after the event. Thank you Activision and Sony!

Tomorrow is lunch with Larry and James. Then hooking up with Jase and some Giants baseball. LOVE IT!

Here’s a picture I snapped of San Francisco with the phone on the way to the hotel.
