38 degrees with fog, a dreary mist all day
Exhaustion wins...here are a FEW of the many photos. The narrative will arrive later. I saw several great panels about creating literary community at a community college, so I'm super psyched to bring those ideas back to my peers. Also, got to catch up with lots and lots of folks within the poetry world.

i hope you're having as much fun as your photos suggest.
I'm actually excited to hear about building a literary community at a community college. It would be great if you could write a post about this (in all your free time) when you get back!
Looks like a spectacular time! Can't wait to read about the adventures.
Exhaustion won out for me too, this year, I posted less because I was just too tired. Wonder what that was about. Of course, I was also sharing the netbook with my husband, who was also blogging. Next year I'm gonna suggest we each bring computers.
Still it was a great conference!
Stephanie, I was jealous of all the mated pairs of writers as I was missing my husband dearly. Now, I see the shared computer could be a downside...still I think y'all win!
Hope to see you soon. I'm trying to make some of the readings at UCA and Hendrix this semester, but so far the weather is not encouraging.
