Ken (who was staying with friends, and knew a bit about the area) took us to a steak restaurant called The Angus Barn. We ate massive steaks, and it was so cheap! despite Ken apologising about the price! I bet it's even cheaper now with the 2-dollar pound...
We saw a fabulous thunderstorm on the horizon, which had some of the best lightning I've ever seen! I like a good thunderstorm
Back at the hotel, chatted in the bar with Cyprien Lomas (Educause) and Alan Levine (New Media Consortium) about Facebook, Augmented Reality Gaming (like the Perplexcity thing that we had in the LTI a few years ago), differences between mobile (cell!) phones in the UK and the US, and sport, and a bunch of other stuff

Forgot to say, but in the Angus Barn restaurant - one of the waiters went a bit crazy when he saw my mobile phone. It's a due-to-be-replaced Sony Ericsson w800i (I've had it over 18 months, and they've been around for about 2 years). He couldn't believe it... we learned thereafter that mobile (or cell!) phones in America are generally quite a bit behind European ones technologically, but as Brian rightly says, Japan and Asia are even further in front that Europe on this...
