Well, the picture about sums it: beaming faces, looking forward to the main EconSM conference day tomorrow. Our pre-conference evening panel and mixer went very well…the panel writeup by David is here. Our live editorial coverage will start tomorrow here with the panels…the schedule is here. The pics from the conference will go up here on Flickr. The Los Angeles heat wave is suppose to let up tomorrow, and we’ll be up in the mountains anyway at the Skirball Center…see y’all there.

Staci adds: I ran out of battery power last night before I could write the caption for this picture, which I snapped last night at the Casa del Mar during our opening reception… probably a good thing for Pete Levinsohn (l), Ross Levinsohn (c) and Richard Rosenblatt (r). Of course, many of you already know the connections but for the rest—Richard, now chairman of Demand Media, sold Intermix/MySpace to Fox Interactive Media when it was run by Ross, now a partner in Velocity Interactive Group and a speaker at EconSM today, and Pete, of course, runs FIM (NYSE: NWS).
