Nice to be home. Good to have gone. Given that I don’t normally talk about such things, I think it went pretty well. Nice turnout of NRO fans (I would guess at least half of the 100-150 or so folks there). Went out for beers and grub with some of the more hardened souls. Was drilled with questions about K-Lo, Rich, Ramesh and Derb. Once again the youth had better things to do. What is happening to America’s youth?

One annoying bit was that I forgot to pack a comb or brush and so I ended up getting out of the shower with my coif tres unkempt, not that I’m normally that kempt. One intriguing aspect of the evening is that I could swear Marlin Fitzwater was in the audience chuckling at the geek show on stage. I wanted to seek him out afterwards, but by the time I stopped saying hi to the NR-crowd he was gone. I’d love to know if that was him.

Anyway, here’s a long and generous write-up by one of the attendees who also picked up the tab at the firehouse. So, send page impressions his way if you can. If it’s an incentive, there’s an absolutely hellacious picture of me.
