As you read this my broken hand and I are safely ensconced in the back of the family mini-van listening to Reggae as we tear across the mid-west on our way from Denver to Memphis. I'll be doing a few posts, but mostly I'll be vacationing in the land of rubbed barbecue and the mummified corpse of the King of Rock and Roll. Yes, I'm going to Graceland.

I've talked my wife into dropping me off at the Little Rock Airport on our way back home Wednesday so I can catch a flight to sunny San Francisco where I will be spending all of Thursday talking to Sony folk and playing Playstation 3 games.

I'm psyched: I've never been to Graceland and it's been year's since I've been to a Sony Gamer's Day.

While all Sony's told me officially so far is that there will be both an informal breakfast briefing and a more formal Q&A followed by a day of PS3 game playing, I still suspect that the last bits of real news will be coming out Thursday. I expect to hear about the online service and PSP connectivity, if not more. I hope I'm not disappointed.

I think I'm most excited about finally getting my hands onto Lair and Heavenly Sword, though I can't wait to see how Resistance: Fall of Man has shaped up.

Be sure to check out Kotaku Thursday for the hilarity of me trying to liveblog an event with a broken hand. There will be lots of swearing, and possibly some pain medication, involved. Brian Crecente
