Comments on: Point of View, II - The Event http://asymptotia.com/2007/04/25/point-of-view-ii-the-event/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:21:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Chocolaty Book Fun - Asymptotia http://asymptotia.com/2007/04/25/point-of-view-ii-the-event/comment-page-1/#comment-41702 Chocolaty Book Fun - Asymptotia Sat, 28 Apr 2007 19:33:23 +0000 http://asymptotia.com/2007/04/25/point-of-view-ii-the-event/#comment-41702 [...] Spent most of the evening after the ceremony at the reception talking with LA Times (or related) people and their spouses. This was not my intention, but it was a happy occurrence, as they were all really interesting people - two science writers (Rosie Mestel and Alan Zarembo, who I’d not met before and who were just great to talk to) and also some more general columnists, whose names escape me now. K C Cole, my friend and USC colleague - and ex-LA Times science writer - was there for good conversation, as was Tom Siegfried. So it was just excellent to stand around and munch on the excellent food, drink the wine, and talk (and yes, sometimes gripe) a bit about science coverage and science writing. Briefly chatted with poet and author Michael Datcher (remember him from the point of view event?) and his wife as well, who told me about an upcoming event I’ll be mentioning later, I hope.

Thank you for getting it videoed. I love Don Marolf's comment about not organising his brain by author but by abstract! Better than hep-th number I guess.
