I am at The Conference of Doom!

Christ is this conference big.  I mean, Jesus.  It's huge.  You can't swing a dead cat in this hotel without hitting at least three preeminent classicists.

Which is lovely. And draining.  I find I'm always on the lookout for people I know and haven't seen in years and would love to talk to.  Or people I know and haven't seen in years and would prefer to keep that way.  So it goes.

But tonight was great. I caught up with old friends, talked with professors from college and generally had a grand time.  And getting tipped off about delicious dinner in Chinatown certainly didn't hurt, either. 

With no interviews and no paper to give, it's apparently rather easy to enjoy a conference. Who knew?

Enjoy, Hark! And...you never know what will come from the elbow-rubbing.

Thanks, Ink! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Eh, too bad that you have no interviews; I hate that feeling. But make the most of all that dead-cat-swinging!
