To answer your question, Jonah: Happy. Good people, good times. I believe the first and last conversation I had involved both Star Trek and Star Wars — so I felt a little like I was representing the geek squad (ahem). Mercifully, soon I would be asked about more normal things like 2008 in an Irish bar on a Friday night.

Thanks to all who showed up. It was a pleasant end to a not-so week. It is always reinvigorating to meet even just a representative few of you loyal and enthusiastic readers. I am reminded we should do them more often.
