Man, did I ever have a good time. Such a difference from last year, when I was unsure of the book and of everything and didn't know anyone. Now, the book is almost out of the embryo stage, and my research is pretty much done, so I went mostly to have fun and see some really cool people and their work. If anything I write can be as enduring, useful, and beautiful as those folks' pottery, I'll consider myself a huge success. Thanks, potters! Y'all rock.
