Checking in from Costa Mesa.   After a slightly anxious day I finally arrived at Orange County Airport (Official name is John Wayne Airport-I bet you didn't know that).  We shall remain photoless until sometime tomorrow afternoon due to the fact I'm phoneless.  This I did not discover until I was in the plane looking for it so I could turn it off.  It was my good fortune to sit next to two delightful ladies who taught me about Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich), self publishing and let me borrow their cell phone to call home.  Anyway the phone is accounted for and winging its way west as we speak (one can only hope) thanks to my awesome son. After a weather related diversion to Austin we finally circled back to Dallas making the connection with a good ten minutes to spare.Upon check in I was given a lovely bag of swag, courtesy of hosts Blanco and Bosch, consisting of a stainless steel water bottle, a leather passport case and a very interesting looking book about the history of Bosch. Tomorrow's events promise to be much more interesting and enjoyable.  We get to discuss design trends with Dwell Magazine Contributing Editor Erika Heet for starters.  If you want to know what else is in store you're just going to have to check back tomorrow!  Off to dinner to meet my blogger pals then to BED!  Cheers :)
