Took me 3 1/2 hours to drive from Jersey to Boston…  Arrived around 1:30pm at the nearby Ramada Inn.  Dropped off my luggage at my roon (which has a terrible smell of moth balls!!!) and immediately took a cab down to South Boston.  My cab driver got lost so it took us 45 minutes to get there!  Grabbed my badge and walked around.  Inside, pure chaos as a lot of the organizers tried to get their stuff ready for tomorrow.

The Ubuntu booth doesn’t have anything yet besides 2 tall chairs and empty tables.  Tomorrow I’m bringing in the hardware and some free goodies as well.  Spent some more time walking around the piles of empty boxes and containers spread all over the floor…  Tried in vain to capture some more images of the mad house but my phone cam wasn’t up to the task.

Took another cab down to the piers where 2 people told me I’d find the “No Name” restaurant.  I don’t really enjoy eating by myself but had no choice.  A bowl of seafood chowder and a Sam Adams later I was ready to go back to my room.  found out there was free wifi access… woot!  I think I’m going to turn in early tonight… maybe is the fumes from the moth balls…

PS:  I’m still looking for volunteers to man the booth so feel free to drop me a line.
