9:14 AM: We're inside the hall. Waiters are circulating with trays full of Bloody Marys and Mimosas. Microsoft almost always has booze at its launches. Thank you Mr Ballmer.

9:01 AM: We're outside waiting to be let in. There are a handful of reporters here. Everyone is looking at their phones. While looking at my phone, I was nearly run down in the street by a Twitter employee. Metaphors, yo.
