So I’m clicking through my RSS feeds, and there are a lot of them since I’ve been off the grid for the last 24 hours or so. I come to a folder called “Friends” and see a list of people I was just spending time with, and with whom I share relationships that can’t be summarized with an XFN tag. Most of them are people I met in Austin.
Maybe you aren’t as inspired by this year’s conference as in years past, but I hope you’re recharged like I am now and have been every year. There wasn’t that much this year that was new, but finding familiarity and feeling comfortable in such a dynamic place is something we should definitely hang onto.
Have a good trip, get some rest, and we’ll see you next year.

Good to see you’re audioblogging (and good luck with that–it’s hard!). Good to hear that I’m not the only one who was utterly exhausted.
Aside from an important literary contact I made at the last session on the last day, the main benefit of going was being reminded of how many people in the world are smarter than I am 🙂 I really regret, btw, that I didn’t hear about the impromptu session on the future of online critics until after the fact. Might be a good idea for a panel next year.
I know the feeling of “been there, done that” at the conferece, but there’s always a few pleasant surprises. And the people are always working on interesting projects.
Actually I went to a session about video production that easily saved me thousands of dollars by giving recommendations about what to buy.
As much as I like that event, I might pick another conference for next year just for variety.
Sorry I missed your 2 panels. i’m sure you know the feeling of being pulled in different directions.
Hmmm, Nicholson Baker, haven’t heard of that title. (I’m a big fan of U and I).
Good luck on your book tour.

You’re absolutely right, Mike.
