Sitting here at a friends house kicking it after getting back from post day 1 social event for DrupalCon D.C. and thinking "wow!" today was rocking. I caught up with some old friends, met a whole bunch of new friends, and definitely had a full day of geekery.
Then we had the amp'd talk Drupal 7: What's Done, What's Coming, and How You Can Help w/Angie Byron. I have seen some video's with Angie and man is she just as entertaining in person talking about how Drupal is a "do-ocracy", the new features coming up, and how I need to get all my sites upgraded to Drupal 6 by first quarter 2010 :)
Finally, I got new schooled by a 13 year old presenter and old schooled by a 40 year old in Install Profiles w/Dmitri Gaskin and Hagen Graf.
