The conference officially kicked off today, so naturally the first event was so over the top that it defied belief. I was sitting next to Emily, a native to San Francisco. As we watched the actress Jane Lynch lead a "cyber" version of David Bowie's "Changes", Emily and I gritted our teeth and made witty comments. I jokingly told her that this was the sort of spectacle that Canadians expect when in these Excited States of America.
