Ouch, 3:30! That totally explains why I didn't catch you with the Monday morning exodus - I had a late flight that day, so I got to hang out in the lobby with the last of the attendees as we all trickled out. I wish you could've been there too - it was a really fun conversation.
I was really glad to see you too - there wasn't anywhere near enough time to hang as much as I would've liked, especially after that Fanthropology panel, which brought up all sorts of neat issues, and when I went through my pictures, I was kicking myself for not getting more of you and irfikos, especially of those great outfits you had at the dance. (Oh, and I still have SF pictures to send you, mostly of the aquarium.)
But.. yeah, guy wasn't a heel, I probably should be giving him a cookie for at least standing up and saying yo, I'm a guy who's not like this and don't share these views, and that he at least didn't feel oppressed, because that's not an easy position to take either. Sometimes, I really need to curb the hothead within. (This is why I don't do message boards - if I just let my gut reaction fly a lot of the time, I'd really be in trouble.)
