I was able to swing getting Thursday and Friday off and wouldn't mind meeting a few Mapcorians there. 
Looks like they have some pretty cool panels going on, particularly on Friday morning.

At the keynote session, John Carmack unveiled his port of the Idtech 5 engine to the iPhone. It was ridiculously good looking. In the tech demo, it literally looked like a lower-poly 360/PS3 game, but the textures looked like they were from a current generation console. And it ran at 60 FPS. To top it off, he had only been working on it over the course of 6 weeks in his spare time. Absolutely brilliant work.
Finally got to see his gift of gab, as he would start talking about something, go off on a series of tangents for an hour, and still manage to lead back into the original topic. The best thing I can compare it to is the Temple of Pandora from God of War 1, in conversation form.

id Software's next big shooter, Rage, built on its next big engine, id Tech 5, now has a ship date. Get ready to wait a little longer for Rage, for it won't be out until September 2011.

No live stream of Rage. Fuck knows why.. But apparently they've shown the same level as the e3 trailer.
Obviously, there's a leak or two:

They are really pushing that date back. It was supposed to come out this fall before E3 and then it was supposed to be something like feb 2010 and now september. Thats like a year of delay in 2 months.

Thats game dev for you. Plus they don't have a publisher whining at them or threatening them over release dates. Wait, actually, would zenimax be that now?
-
Just watched the iPhone video. Carmack really is a terrifying programmer
-
Fucking finally.. Took them their sweet time to upload this!
Enjoy, the words of the only god walking the earth:
