The Think Tank is tomorrow, but for all those I'd hoped and planned on meeting it turns out I'm too sick to go. The last thing I want to do is drive three hours and share bronchitis around the FA community (not to mention ten strangers sleeping in the hostel room with me).
So I won't make it :-( but I do hope to see reports from those who do and I'll check the twitter stream between Nyquil doses.

All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
Awwww, that's a bummer!!! I really wish you could still come...but I hope you get some rest and recover.
ReplyDeleteI tend to be a little obsessive compulsive about note-taking and last time I typed up notes afterward and Paul sent them out, so no worries.
Feel better soon! You will be missed.
I can't go either since gas now requires one's firstborn child. We've made some large purchases recently (Yay, new furniture! Bathroom remodel!) and I have a team of contractors at work on my landscape as I type, so we just can't spend the extra cash.
ReplyDeleteWithoutscene does take awesome minutes. And you can always follow along on the Twitter stream.
