My WWDC 2008 Session Choices

I’ve made my initial list of sessions I want to attend at Apple’s WWDC this June. I’ve chosen the obvious ones like the keynotes and state of the unions, and I’ve emphasized on some graphics sessions and some iPhone related sessions. If anyone else is going to WWDC, please comment on what sessions you plan on taking. I’d love to get some feedback from past attendees on what sessions are good and not so good. Also, I’d love ot hear about any developer parties that people are going to.
