Ready for the convention action to get started!

You may barely be able to see me in this picture (hint: I’m the dude between the arrows!), but here I am standing outside the Oregon Convention Center just hours before the JEA/NSPA convention is to begin. I’m so excited!

I am looking forward to walking around the convention floor and visiting all of vendors who have come here to talk to people just like ME. I am also anxious to attend sessions that will teach me new and cool things to take home with me to use in our school’s yearbook.

Oh, on a side note, there are a ridiculous number of Starbucks here in this city. Yesterday at the airport I saw a Starbucks crammed into the space between the up and down escalators to the baggage claim. There is one right across the street from the hotel where I am staying, and at least two in the convention center itself. That’s like three within one city block! What’s all of this mean? That I am probably gonna be getting some Starbucks.
