Survived the kick off party last night at the Hong Kong,-sorry Bri no lap dancers- by going hog wild and ordering myself a Citrona. I am nothing if not a cheap date. Cocktail parties are just about my worst nightmare. I don't drink, I am a disaster at small talk, and don't do strangers very well at all. I knew I was in trouble when I found myself lusting after a spare rib on a stick. I haven't eaten meat since I was pregnant and was on a one hamburger a day regimen to boost my hematocrit...
anyway I thought at the very least I would muster up my courage and try to meet some folks from around the country. four out of five bloggers I managed to to speak with came from within a one mile radius of Harvard Square. I must have radar. There was a Josh and Omer-who aren't listed on the blogroll for the conference, Andrew, who is taking a break from his 2 year old daughter, whom he treasures, and Werner from Cornell who is using the same style sheet as me....him and about a hundred other folks: Georgia Blue.
It is still dark out and the conference has started so I better get my ass over there. More later....
