Conferencing, day 2

The main conference day is finished, and my paper went well — various people told me afterwards that they’d liked it. I think it benefited from being on a really good panel on a day of interesting and lively talks. I’m impressed that the conference organizers made everything go like clockwork, with good food appearing at the right moments and moderators keeping panels from running over (always a hard thing to do, if other conferences I’ve been to are any indication). Because we were a small group, and because most of us are still students, the whole thing had an appealingly low-key vibe, almost an "unconference" feel. And I’ve definitely met people I want to keep in touch with after we all disperse tomorrow.

Anyway, I’ll post a link to my paper once it’s available online, which it will be soon. I’m now crashing hard. Catch you all later…

[Postscript: This was always one of my favorite buildings when I lived here. I used to walk by it just to look at it and imagine living there. I walked by it again this evening, and it’s as beautiful as ever. Thank heaven for Flickr, because Googling "that one yellow house on Division Street" wouldn’t have gotten me anywhere.]
