Things got rolling today! I saw a whole of youthworkers arriving (I have no idea how many -- many.) and I also saw a whole bunch of grey sling packs! (That's the registration welcome thing that everyone gets.) It is really fun to walk around the convention center and around town and automatically have a way to begin a conversation. 
("Hey! Nice pack -- where'd you get it?)
I was waiting in line for lunch and Jeff walked up right behind me and said the magic phrase! He's the first winner of a fun yet goofy prize. Three more to go!
I got to have lunch with Jeff and learn more about him and about the ministry he's involved in now and what's coming - hopefully - in the future. It's great to be able to be at a huge convention and have it feel small when you get to spend time simply talking to people.
Tonight is the welcome reception (free stuff in the exhibit hall!) and a late-night concert with Starfield and Leeland.
I think I'll be staying up late.

Don't forget to score as many free Bigstuf Frisbees as you can before the real crew of moochers... I mean, patrons come in tomorrow.
They have Frisbees? Now I've got to go back! I did get the giant pen from Look up Lodge tho!
Three more prizes to go -- who's going to get them? Will the winners cherish them forever too?
