Many of the forum regulars seem to be going to Stanford, alas, others of us will not be there. Some of you that are going will access the internet while there, however briefly- why not share?
I have created this thread so you can report on the sights, sounds, swims, sunburns, socials etc. It matters not whether you be 'elite', 'newbie' or whatever, your impressions would be interesting to read. You could comment on great swims, technique, facilities, judging, the announcer, outrageous behavior of other forum participants, complaints, kudos- whatever. If you do, I at least would be grateful and if the thread garners much in the way of postings it could be a valuable archive for people to check for future Worlds. I lay down the guantlet...

Matt.....sorry my friend but rumor has it that the 50 fly might go till 8pm Sunday night which is past my bed time and means we'll have to call raincheck on that beer.....!
And by the way....Michael well done but also the same to the 100 others putting this show together!
What an important meet this must be, for Tall Paul to turn down the opportunity for a Tall Cool one!
Ane I echo Paul's comments - the organization of such an event really requires a dedicated army (or navy) of volunteers - thanks to all.
To those going to the event, remember to express your gratitude to the volunteers - they CHOOSE to take their time and energies and devote them to OUR benefit! A sincere "thank you" will go a long way.
