Get up. Get on up. Get on the scene.

I've really been looking forward to this week. It's a week of a couple of first times.

  • Tonight is my first time seeing James Brown in concert. Never had the chance to see him live except now in Shanghai. I gladly took it, despite the ridicously overpriced tickets. I expect a lot from this concert. I love soul and therefore I must love the Godfather of Soul.
    Last month we had a disastrous Backstreet Boys concert that my friends and I went to just for the fun of it. The problem weren't not only the boys (this Nick guy had put on some pounds!) but also the Chinese audience. Just sitting there in a not even two thirds full auditorium doesn't quite cut it for me. But then again, tonight it's gonna be James Brown!

  • On Friday I'll be going to PyCON. Well, I'll be flying, from Shanghai via Tokyo. That means for the first time in my life, I'll cross the dateline. I'll travel one day "back in time." Too bad I'll lose it again when I come back.

  • I'll be the first time in Texas. Actually, the first time in the South (unless you call Florida or California the South).

  • It's gonna be my first PyCON (or U.S.-based Python conference for that matter.). At the same time it's gonna be my first time meeting with some U.S.-based Pythonistas and Zopistas in person. I hope some of the ZC guys who I've been working with but never met (like Fred and Gary) are coming. I still owe some of them a couple of beers :).

  • It's my first time in the U.S. after 9/11. Can't wait to have my fingerprints taken and be interrogated by an immigration officer about my Chinese residence visa. God, I hate immigration lines.

At PyCON, I'm looking forward to sprinting on local component registration in Zope 2 and the CMF, based on Jim's adapter and component simplification proposal. I'll also be happy to sign any copies of my book if anyone cares to schlep it to the conference. Or, you can just buy it at the conference party at the NerdBooks.com store and have it signed by me then :).
