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...

Paul-sahib,
Let's play Sunday by ear.
BTW, I noticed the nameless one and I are within 3 spots and 2 seconds of each other in the 800. Don't get me wrong; I hope he swims phenominally and blows the doors off of his PR (and I'll be one of the first to shake his hand and offer congratulations), but it would be fun to be in the same heat with him, and you know...take his measure directly if it's a close race.
