Overall it was an incredibly successful "opening weekend part 1" (part 2 is next weekend). I saw around 80 shows (many surprises and many disappointments), and 4 of those shows have made it to my list of recommendations.

The biggest unknown was how well I could incorporate my iPad. Tweeting every so often and responding to a few e-mails didn't slow my trip at all! If you haven't subscribed to my twitter feed, PLEASE DO! It's the best way to hear about the best shows AS I'm seeing them with links to what I'm seeing included!

I had a few questions about my iPad case. It took a few days to research/find one this perfect and I highly recommend it. learn about it here:

but buy it on Amazon because it's much cheaper.
