E3 (Los Angeles) 2009: Day One
June 1, 2009 1:45 am E3 / Los Angeles 2009, Live Blogging1:40:08 AM: And here we go. 4:40am eastern. Literally just woke up. Going to be a long day…
2:17:35 AM: Just a reminder… All my Twitter posts from now until I get back Saturday are archived at my site (http://is.gd/LkUI) in PACIFIC time.
2:34:49 AM: Leaving now to the airport. The sun is just peaking out.
3:14:03 AM: The CN Tower looks cool in the distance with the sun rising behind it. Approaching the airport now.
4:37:52 AM: At our gate. Boarding is in 20 minutes.
4:42:18 AM: Tony is trying to hack the airport wifi. Not going so well. Haha
5:16:57 AM: On the plane. Taking off in 15 minutes at 8:30am. Watchmen is on the flight. Golden. Talk with you in about six hours. Ugh.
10:57:53 AM: And landed at LAX. Wow. Such a long flight. Ugh. Watched Gran Tarino and a Coldplay concert. Then killed time. Waiting to park at the gate.
10:59:38 AM: Changing timezones is weird. It’s like time traveling. We just spent nearly six hours on the plane yet it shows three on the clocks. Crazy.
12:05:13 PM: In the shuttle to the hotel. Have to drop two others off first. Scorching hot inside. Don’t know where we are. Lots of palm trees though.
1:02:20 PM: http://pic.gd/f99c7c At the hotel. Not the greatest area but better than what we saw near LAX. Ha
1:19:30 PM: Tony had his credit card left behind on the plane. The lady who took his food order didn’t give it back. Called and got it cancelled. Brutal
1:21:08 PM: The hotel is kind of run down, but whatever, we aren’t here for the hotel, right? At least the wi-fi works, using it right now.
2:51:36 PM: http://pic.gd/e00203 At the convention centre walking around. Can’t do much yet cause everyone still is setting up
3:03:58 PM: So much hotter now. Sweating buckets. Tons of cool stuff around the convention centre. Loving it.
3:24:12 PM: At the Rock’n Fish beside the Staples Centre. Ordering some fish and chips from the lunch menu. Digging LA. Initial impressions were rough.
4:31:23 PM: http://pic.gd/5fc9fb Decided to cab it to the Beverly Center in Beverly Hills. Got dropped off underground.
5:02:39 PM: Not busy at the Beverly Center at all. Weird. Thought it would be.
5:21:27 PM: http://pic.gd/bfd931 The Hollywood Hills from the Beverly Center. We could see the Hollywood sign in the distance
6:06:32 PM: Just bought two pairs of shorts from Champs. Buy one get one free. Kind of needed them since I only brought one pair.
6:43:25 PM: http://pic.gd/e36 Walking the streets of LA. Hardly anyone else is. Lots of sunlight when it’s nearly 10pm back home.
7:10:04 PM: Back at the hotel. Definitely tired and sore. ha. Love free wifi though… On my MacBook Pro.
8:07:00 PM: Watching Los Angeles news in the hotel room. Found out E3 show floor doesn’t start till 12pm tomorrow. Nice. 10am final two days though.
10:28:09 PM: Getting ready for bed. Time change is catching up. Ha. More to come tomorrow. E3 begins! Goodnight.
