Lots of Bob Dylan playing as the prelude to the event. #yg. I’m now on my laptop with #Sprint 3G connection, so I’m hoping to keep up.

Just spotted Tim Cook (Apple COO) and Al Gore chatting. #yg

Walt Mossberg and Kara Swischer (sp?) are just 4 rows in front of me. #yg. http://yfrog.com/1ynglhj

Inside the hall now. There’s a chair and a table with what looks like a tablet on it. #yg http://yfrog.com/33wi6kj

480 people feels more like 1,000. Watching invited guests go in; seems like a Who’s Who of tech and media. #yg

Inside the check-in line. Now waiting to enter Yerba Beuna Center for the Arts. #yg

A particularly relevant sign, given the expected event subject matter. #yg http://yfrog.com/3gigbj
