what more could a girl ask from an academic conference?

  • cool and super fun city
  • no pressure to have interviews or try to make great impressions because it's not really my field; i'm just on the edge of it
  • old and dearly loved (and sorely missed, especially now that i am out in the big wide world all by my little self) friends from grad school galore
  • delicious food
  • meeting new fun and interesting people
  • delivering a paper that didn't totally suck
  • finding someone to fill out a panel i've been having a helluva time putting together
  • catching up on gossip
  • learning things

in answer to my titular question: nothing. there is nothing more.

Free drinks.
A girl (or boy) could ask for many, many industry-sponsored free drinks.
Any luck on that front?
