SpaceX's blog is a great read, particularly the launch descriptions. Going through them is a good way to pass a slow day.

Should be cool to watch the launch if weather cooperates. You can check out the webcast here http://www.spacex.com/webcast.php on the launch day (warning: if you go there now there is an autoplaying video).

I highly recommend signing up to their e-mail list. It's very low traffic (an e-mail about once every 3-4 months) but is filled with great info and photos from the factory, rocket testing, and the launchpad. Modern-day space porn...
