With a funny and insightful speech from writer Bruce Sterling, CFP2002 drew to a close this afternoon. I know I’ve had little to say thus far about the conference, but I greatly enjoyed it, I learned a lot, and I have much to think about–many things that I never really considered before. I’ll give a full update somewhere on my site when I return.
Despite having had little to say thus far about CFP, I’ve been mentioned on a couple CFP-related Web logs, to my surprise. I’m mentioned at cfp2002.blogspot.com and also on David Singer’s blog. I chatted at some length this morning with Mr. Singer. He has a list of CFP-related blogs that you should see if you wanna know more. I’ve skimmed some of these, and they look great. Those of you who’ve talked to me about attending next year should read all these Web logs, to a feel for the CFP culture–and believe me, there’s a definite CFP culture.
This evening, I’m off to James Sime’s Tiki party, somewhere in Oakland. James runs Comics and Da-Kind and he’s hosting a party associated with Wonder Con. Tomorrow evening is Comic Relief’s 15th Anniversary party. Unless it rains, I probably won’t be at Wonder Con itself. There’s simply too much cool stuff in San Francisco to warrant spending all day inside.
I need to figure out where the hell this Tiki party is, get directions, and suss out how to get to Oakland on BART. Otherwise, I’m feeling wistful already about my time in SF winding down. I leave Sunday morning and I’m already beginning to miss it here. Le sigh….
We have one functional Internet kiosk now in the hostel, so this’ll probably be my last Blog entry before I leave. I probably won’t have much email access either.
