Got a little too exhausted in the middle there to keep up in real time, sorry

For the record: 1) We picked the restaurant because we wanted good seafood, not because we wanted some over-the-top Caligulan obscenity, and 2) I really just ordered what Rachel told me to order. I was just following orders!

Why on earth wouldn't you pick a restaurant that offered Caligulan obscenity?!

Now that I think about it, I believe there's a Haagen-Daas flavor named "Caligular Obscenity." Lark's tongues and quail eggs swirled with duck fat.

Also, they recommend that you eat it while fucking a horse.

So the best thing about the trip was the food!

Yeah, basically. Which I feel bad about, but...I dunno. Since I didn't actually go to much of the conference, I can't really bitch about it in public, but reading the wrap-ups, there's not much I regret missing except the three panels I already regreted missing (Wendy F., Daphne, Jesse Fuchs).

That Considine presentation sounds totally up my alley. Do you know if it's online anywhere?

Someone specifically asked him afterwards if he had plans to publish it anywhere, and he indicated that he didn't. If you e-mail him, though, I'm sure he'll send you a copy.
