Wal-Mart in person





Holy cow -- I've never been to a Wal-Mart annual shareholder meeting before (although I've covered them from live webcasts). The actual event, which I traveled to Bentonville for this past week, was more like a circus and entertainment venue that a shareholder meeting. Pretty neat stuff to see in person, and even better with full media passes to some great seats and up-close coverage. Whew though, the thing began at 7:00am and I was outta the hotel to be first (or 2,000th) in line at 6:15am. Man, they start these things early. Catch my mind-blowing four-hour coverage here.
