Having a lovely time in NYC. The lovely and talented and sooperdooper people I’ve seen so far, in rough chronological order: Molly W., mentioned in that last post; Molly H-F., fellow former Pew Fellow, blogger abroad, lover of saag paneer, and all-around kick-ass gal; Tom, my old college roommate and one of the few people to successfully make the “Hollywood agent” to “semiconductor analyst” transition; Bob, my other college roommate and the only friend I have whose collected childhood chess games are available for sale on Amazon; Ken, another college buddy who I got to write a newbie’s guide to IRC back in 1995; and Jon, majordomo of Scwabble, to my knowledge the only online source for individual replacement Scrabble tiles.

And that’s not even counting the 30 people who showed up for the CD Mix of the Month reunion last night. Such lovely people! More on them later.

The transition has been made, true. Its success, however, remains in question.
