Hey I'm here and enjoying the finest finery that is the GDC Expo Floor.

Or, that is to say, floors. The Expo Floor is broken up this time into three sections, one on floor two, one on floor one, and one at "Moscone North", which is across the street.

And the graft is flowing graftily. I'm fully a dozen pens ahead of the game. Real Networks gave me a chocolate cake (yes, you read that right), and I have more little things that have little blinky lights than a person should be allowed to have.

Thus far I can't rightly say what's the finest freebie in the set. VirtualHeroes has a rather nice looking all-metal pen, although I've never been much for metal-barreled pens, as they make my fingers sweat. Gamedev's free chewing gum is nice, as are the mints from a half-dozen places. All in all, it's about a twenty-pound haul of finest tradeshow bits. Not bad for day one.

Pics are forthcoming.
