There's an app for this one, but it certainly left us feeling hungrier than before. Unfortunately, we felt hungrier for real food, not the foam-and-gel froofrooness or weird flavor combinations mentioned here. Lucky Charms-infused crabcakes in a port wine reduction? Bring on the burgers, please. |
There were in fact madcap adventures aplenty in this presentation, along with deeply associative and entirely poetic moments. The stop animation Roller of Big Cigars was an unexpected touch. |
Cultural criticism as EDM, Dedmouse's house music (en)tranced the whole convention center. But given the way the foam bubbled out of the conference room and into the hall, we got a bit worried about the state of our security deposit. |
Ravenfur's presentation rivaled that of Dedmouse in, at least, rhythmic complexity, but its true winning force was its deep wit and literary acumen. The free bottled water was a necessity, though, and it's possible we're still snarkily flat-trippin'. |
Our first presentation that had its own stratigraphic layers, Bromptony-Fish engaged us in the deep history of England's loamy soil. Literally, with trowels, brushes, and dental picks for the detail work. |
We English majors can't begin to understand the binary bits here, but we can see how it might find its way to a binding paradox: how can we tell if the intelligence that made it is as meatspace as it comes? |
Fewer free samples didn't detract from this well-attended and completely delicious presentation, tastefully sponsored by the Bourbon Board of Kentucky. Classy and full-bodied, an American classic®. |
There were far too many formulae here to be truly comprehensible, but car companies as fantasylands we can quite readily understand. Ever really take your SUV off road or your sports sedan to the race track? Yeah, we didn't think so. |
Reducing High Modernism to a more-than-slightly creepy corporate training film just heightened our understanding of the fear our students face when they open the massive anthologies we make them buy and stare, dumbfounded, at the Thin Men of Haddam. However humbling, the paper is still due Friday, kids. |
