For #ls11 geeks who know the first element is 0

While most of the world seems to think that the first element of something should be labeled #1, geeks know that in most languages (er, programming languages), the base element is 0. I found a fun way to point that out in the Lotusphere Sessions db, which now has a Day 0.  Unacknowledged by the incognescenti, there have always been Day 0 activities, including the B.A.L.D. get together, and the as-of-yet unnamed ESPN party called for, if not hosted by, The Turtle.  More of the "Fun and Games" track will appear in the database shortly.

Outstanding idea! Got "descriptions" for them?

Right now, the description for the first session (FUN103 BALD) is:

Hang out with very cool (and mostly short and almost all balding) bloggers and their groupies whilst imbibing lightly (see FUN104 for heavy imbibing).

and the description for the second (FUN104 ESPN)is:

Hang out with somewhat cool (and mostly already slightly inebriated) folks whilst imbibing heavily (see FUN103 for light imbibing).
