I'm at the Sheraton, bunking with Wild Bill Cody and hoping his infamous late night antics don't keep me awake or get me billed for lamp shade damage.

I'm at the Sheraton or whatever the hotel next to the convention center is called. It was the Wyndham last year.
You've got a few drinks coming your way, heybud.
burger, I'll bet we can get the hotel shuttle to come and get you and take you home at night.

Well, Fattay, just don't expect to be home early on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night.

Because I'm too sexy for this shirt I'm staying at the Sheraton Arlington in a "Club Room."
According to their web site:
Sheraton Club guest rooms offer upgraded amenities, free bottled water, and complimentary fitness center access. Club guests also have special access to the Club Lounge. A relaxing, upscale space, the Club Lounge offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon hors d’oeuvres and a variety of beverage options. Take advantage of the private Club Lounge where you can connect with friends, meet with your team, or simply relax by catching your favorite TV show. Need to get some work done? A copier/fax/printer and complimentary office supplies are ready to go.
This is gonna be our primary vacation so I decided to splurge in a minor way. The fact that the "Club Lounge" offers a "variety of beverage options" and is withing crawling distance from the room had nothing to do with my room selection, I swear.
I tried to book the "Presidential Suite" but it has been reserved for the lead singer of the Rolling Spawn.

Whether we want you to or not depends on which shirt you are wearing. Sleeves and (secured) buttons would be a plus.

How are the talks organized. Since there are so many I am assuming that multiple talks are occuring at the same time. Is a seminar list published indicating where and when each talk is occuring?

There should be a list available no later than the start of the conference; IIRC there is a draft now, but I have not seen it.
Last year, there were multiple sessions going on concurrently. But one of the complaints was that it wasn't possible to see everything, and I believe this year there will be one program and we won't have to choose what we will miss.

Theo's opinions are are not necessarily shared by anyone except his kids (who learned to hate what he hates and like what he likes) and possibly JHAP, who will have his own disclaimer.

I vote for a group hug at the Sheraton Bar, preferably before we drink too much.
In Dog Beers, I've had one.
