I think I must be the only person who does AWP right. I didn’t see anyone I dislike, I didn’t overspend in the bookfair, I wasn’t bored by attending the wrong panels, and I didn’t get to spend enough time with any of the people I do like.

If anything, AWP only served to remind me that I wish there were more hours in the day. Also, I wish there were more seats in the hotel restaurants in which to spend those hours while talking to the wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, working with, learning from, etc.
