We had a GREAT time in Paris...though I had not prepared for the wind and all the spring pollen...and our legs are exhausted from all the walking we did. Now we want to go back!! We even had a conversation about renting an apartment for a month sometime, just to be there and take in the atmosphere!
As far as the meetup for me...funny, I was mostly in a more quiet, reflective space...we sat in the middle of the table, and I pretty much soaked it all in, listening and enjoying. It was great to meet some many people I have read and exchanged conversations with over the last year... afew, dvx, priority, LEP and his awesome son Rafi (Who was very patient with us...and actually seemed to enjoy his teenaged self!), Metatone, Melanchthon, Fran, PeWi and his wonderful wife Merry (and Pewi thanks for the sound advice...). Unfortunately and regretfully, I didn't get to have a conversation with everyone, beyond hellos...there were just too many people!!...but hopefully we will have other chances in the future...here and elsewhere. (We did run into Colman and Sam on Ille St. Louis on Sunday morning, so had coffee together, which was very good since we hadn't had the opportunity to talk on Saturday). And it was fun to say hello to Izzy via phone too!!
Anyway...I was very full from the experience. I can't believe how many brilliant people are connected to our community!! I'm going to post some photos of our explorations of Paris too, in the coming days... Cheers all!
