In a week's time I'll be lounging by a pool in Singapore, drinking three or four insanely alcoholic drinks in preparation for State of Play V.
I'll be thinking about the dinner that I'm about to have, that will be followed by Glenn Thomas's film "Ideal World". I'll be wondering which of the following two day's panels I will enjoy the most, and which of the workshops I'll attend. I'll be thinking about the dinner the following evening at the Zoo, and the subsequent Night Safari. I'll be wondering whether Doug Thomas will, in fact, be mistaken for a large primate and not allowed out of the grounds, even if he is going to be interviewing John Seely Brown. Oh, and I'll be thinking about chili crab.
I may ask where you and your friends are. I suspect that many of you will be there. And you will be thinking of chili crab too, and so we'll make a plan to head out and get some.
Can't wait.
Cheers dude, I've managed to finagle my way into the event. Any chance I can catch up with you there perhaps? Be nice to meet other TN people. :)

I was rather expecting a "Pool's closed" discussion.

Even more sorry I can't be there now. Edinburgh festival is rockin' tho.
Photos?
@Disappointed - pools open apparently, lack of P/N's over there.

Can't wait! Pepper crab, Tiger Beer and satay! Not a big fan of the Singapore Sling, though!
Feel like I've been looking forward to this conference for a year now! Can't believe it's finally happening!

Sounds marvoulous. Enjoy!

Have a great time! Unfortunately, it's too close to SLCC for me to be there this year - the joint year in 2005 was a blast. :)

Hi Dan,
I hope you enjoyed the pepper and chilli crabs we had tonight. The meal made the years melt away and it seemed just like just a few weeks ago when did this together the first time.
Too bad the restaurant was not able to provide the quality of waiters you came to expect ;-)
Wish everyone here was able to join us for the conference. If tonight's anything to go by, the conference is going to be a real hoot! :-)
Cheers
Harry
