Okay, I'm stationed in the press conference, waiting for it to start. I've got Luis Caffesse and Stephen Mick on my right, and Mikko Wilson and Jake Carpenter on my left... press conference starts in five minutes.
Just added my buddy Jake's Blog to the list; in addition to his blog, he'll also be posting photos live from the show.

The first big event on our schedule is the Panasonic Press Conference at 12:30pm Pacific Time (3:30pm Eastern) on Sunday.
We will also try and hit up Sony at 2:30pm (Pacific) assuming we can get there in time after the Panasonic event.
