I can't make it, alas: a work meeting tomorrow afternoon that's probably the most important of the year.

I will be there. Perhaps not at 5 - bus arrives around 430 and I need/want to head out to Brooklyn where I'm crashing to drop my stuff at a friend's place but I should get there for the keynote.

it occurs to me I'm not sure what curmudgeon's real name is. I imagine you walking around this weekend saying "I'm curmudgeon" and getting the response "me too!" over and over.

Ha. I am not there alas, family obligations. I'm in the DC area.

So Scott Seward killed it again. A sample line of many:
"OK UK stop inventing things, all hopped up on Cadbury bars and PG Tips"
Exchange after he was done:
Jim Miller: "You grew up on Sesame Street didn't you?" Scott: "Yeah!"

hello people! i'm in town but i haven't been to any of the popcon stuff yet. no sleep on the plane last night means zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. anything fun happening tonight?
― the kids of boris midney high (get bent), Friday, 23 March 2012 18:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
that was fun today. i'm glad my dad could make it. nice to meet jim miller today and tom smucker tonight. it's really nice that greil is my biggest fan, but him sitting right in front of me when i was talking was still kind of intimidating. i avoided eye contact.
― scott seward, Friday, 23 March 2012 23:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
is that why you sat right in front of matos and me and tried to psyche us out?

rob sheffield/ann powers/jody rosen/greil marcus panel was the hightlight for me. everyone so good. kinda the ideal for ANY conference. whitney houston panel was my second fave. could listen to nelson george and danyel smith talk forever. and danyel's story of the time she was dissed by whitney was daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!!
really wish i could be their for gza talking about liquid swords tomorrow but we have to get back.
really glad spike lee got into the emp spirit today. it was nice to see.
