arrival

the brain’s not working too well at the moment, so i won’t say much, but here i am in montreal.
we had some good fun singing karaoke at japonais last night before our pre-dawn stretch suv limo ride to the airport, we had a good scare when the plane took off from indy without tiffanie, josh, and justin on board, and we had a good calorie blitz at the ben and jerry’s factory after we were all reunited in burlington.
we also had a good little tour of downtown montreal since we drove around in circles about 700 times trying to find our various ho(s)tels as we dealt with a barrage of bad maps, one way streets, and construction detours, and now we’ve had a good little introduction to french-canadian chinese-american cuisine.
we have not, however, had much good sleep.
so more detailed stories of these events, and more cogent accounts of the present state of affairs, will have to wait for the morning.
i’m volunteering beginning at 8am, and will be done early afternoon, so then i’ll try to write a little prologue to the week ahead.

in case you missed the memo, i’m in montreal for CHI, which is the big annual meeting of the association for computing machinery’s special interest group in human computer interaction (yeah, that’s why we abbreviate it), and i’ll be blogging it both here and here, with slightly different perspectives on each…
but we’ll talk about that tomorrow, too.
:)

night night!
