Ya'll Ready for This?

For some reason I can't get that ubiquitous sporting event anthem out of my head. "Ya'll ready for this...ba. ba. ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. ba. ba...." Beginning this weekend, over 7000 physicists are storming downtown Denver, Colorado. It's the annual ritual know as the APS March Meeting, and it runs all next week. For many physicists, this is The Big Show. It's the place to show off what you've been doing over the past year and to learn what others have been doing. This is also a time of controlled chaos (that's an oxymoron if I ever heard of one) for the APS staff, who strive to make this event run as smoothly as possible. Throughout the course of the meeting, spacekendra, Buzz Skyline, and I will be dishing all the juicy stories.... ranging from the long lines for coffee to the most buzz-worthy physics results to the break-neck speed at which any free food disappears. It is our hope that you will be able to get a feel for the excitement that is the March Meeting. So, once again I ask, "Are ya'll ready for this?" I just hope we are...
