Berkshire has issued roughly 100,000 shareholder credentials for Saturday's get-together at the Qwest Center. That's 10 percent more than last year, when a record 32,000 attended the "Woodstock of Capitalism." Berkshire says 35 percent of the people who get a credential actually show up for the meeting, putting the preliminary estimate at 35,000, which would be a new record high. CNBC's Becky Quick will be in Omaha with extensive coverage of the event, starting Friday morning on Squawk Box at 6a ET. Over the weekend, we'll bring you the latest news and pictures here on CNBC.com's Warren Buffett Watch. »See All CNBC.com Blogs     FIRST IN BUSINESS WORLDWIDE     (c)2009 CNBC Inc.
