I am in Australia. Easier to type than to actually accomplish. Not only did I have to spend about 23 hours in transit, there were also a mountain of hassles.
LAX sucks, pretty bad. There is no signage telling you where you need to go. You have to leave the building and go to another to change airlines, which means another trip through security. To top it off, the international terminal is dingy and lacks most ammenities. Ugh.
Sydney airport is very nice. Unfortunately, quantas tried to save a buck by cancelling it's LA to Brisbane flight, meaning that my plane was full of folks who needed to transfer. This meant that the supposedly convenient transfer lounge, to get over to the domestic terminal, was a nightmare. I missed my flight and had to wait two hours for the next one.
Fortunately, that is now behind me. Brisbane is a lovely town. Mark, my guide took me to a local game shop that had a solid Pathfinder selection. If you are in town and need your Paizo fix, check them out.
Now, after a good nights sleep and a shower, I am finishing up breakfast before I go out to explore the town a bit. The convention starts tomorrow.
Oh yeah, the breakfast here is pretty good. Just like I remember it from my last trip down here in 03. It a lot like an English breakfast, minus the deliciously satanic fried bread.
More from my explorations a bit later.

Today should be crazy. Not much to post yet so take a look at this awesome 40K costume I spotted yesterday.
All glory to the Commissar and the God Emperor.

Day Two of Gencon is coming to a close. The dealer hall was a little slow today, but it always is on Friday. Tomorrow will be the true insanity. We still have a fair number of the Core Rulebook, but they might dissappear tomorrow.
I am currently waiting for the ENnies to start, sitting next to the winner of the Paizo dreamdate auction. Paizo is up for 8 awards, but few of them involve me. I have been sort of busy this year. Hoping to win anyway, especially for Best Publisher. Will update a bit later with the results.

Well, that is it for day one. The booth was busy all day and the pile of books grew visibly smaller as time went by. I must have signed hundreds of copies. I am pretty sure it was the best day Paizo has ever had at a convention.
My feet hurt a bit, and my hand is cramped, but I am otherwise none the worse for wear. Now it is time to get some dinner and maybe a drink or two.
If you are planning to come to the show, we still have a good number of the Core Rulebook left, but I would not wait too long.

Well, the rush of the first day has died down, but the outpouring of support has been tremendous. At one point in time, the line to our registers wrapped all the way around the booth, out into the hall, nearly to one of the corners. All told, it must have been over 200 feet long. Madness I say, but in a good way. Everybody had a copy of the book, and most had more than one.
Our stock level is holding up and I do not think we could sell out today. Tomorrow is possible, but Saturday is looking more likely.
I out at lunch now, flipping through my nifty new Rogue Trader RPG. More to come later.

This is it. Today is the day. Eighteen months in the making. In two hours and twenty two minutes, the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook goes on sale. If you are coming to the show, make sure to stop by and grab a copy while they last.
We brought a lot. Don't believe me? Take a look at the picture. For the record, I measured it in cubits. The mountain of books measure 5 cubits, by 4 cubits, by 3 cubits. That's 60 cubic cubits!!!
Time to go run the conversion seminar, then it's on to the dealer hall.
