The PotterWatch 2011 scholarly conference was fantastic! Cheers to everyone involved. It was especially great to see gods_lil_rocker again and meet amedia in person at last.

I hugely enjoyed Potterwatch and a big highlight was getting to meet you in person! (Another one was hearing your paper.)

I was still too excited to go to sleep when I got back to my room last night, so I sat down and wrote up a detailed report of the conference while it was still fresh in my mind. Looking back over it this morning, I realize it was more frank than diplomatic in a couple of places! But I think it still conveys what a positive experience it was.

That excerpt from your essay on Fringe is tantalizing. Definitely gonna d/load! And I remember that "bonus quote" at the end of your post, because even though I don't watch it regularly, TODS called me in and said, "You've got to hear this!" and replayed that exact conversation for me. :-D

I loved your conference report! I was so impressed with what they'd accomplished, as a student organization, and in their very first year! Like you, I had a fantastic time. Your terrific presentation most definitely was one of the great highlights of the day.

Thanks a million for checking out the essay! I was very pleased that they put it up for a "sneak peek" this week. I hope you enjoy it. I got a great laugh over the fact TODS played that clip from Fringe for you. Great minds, eh? It was such a terrific scene.

I hope our paths cross in RL again very soon!

Saved the first two eps of the new season and watched them yesterday, finally. We are off to a good start but obviously the best is yet to come!

Glad the conference and your speech were a success.

Yay! I'm getting ready to watch the second ep this afternoon. I can't wait to see where they go this season. The first ep had me quite intrigued.

Thank you so much! It was really a terrific experience, and I was so tickled by the turnout/support of the audience for my talk. The other panels/presentations were fascinating, so I got a terrific day-full of HP goodness!

You know, I bailed on Fringe after season one. I've been told I should go back and try again. This convinced me to do it.

Oh, this is great to hear! I hope you will give it another chance. It's matured into a truly stunning show, to my way of thinking.

I can't wait to see you soon. I have my costume for the day all ready! ;) Should be lots of fun.
