Mandy has already mentioned her highlights from the SBL Annual Meeting in Boston. I may do something similar eventually, but for now I wanted to briefly mentioned the biblioblogger dinner.

There was some confusion about exactly when it was going on and where to meet at first, but once all that was sorted out, we had an excellent time. Props go to Michael Halcomb for making the reservations at Dillon’s. The staff were wonderful, the environment great, and the company engaging. If you want to see a list of the bloggers who attended, see Michael’s post here.

I was actually quite surprised that the staff at Dillon’s let us move some of the furniture around in the back room. It had a strong lounge kind of feel, and it was great to be able to hold a variety of conversations not only with those at my table (Mandy, Adam, Daniel and Tonya, as well as Patrick (who doesn’t have a blog for me to link to)), but also with those behind me on couches. As Adam already pointed out, one conversation tended to flow into the next and it was a great time. Whatever we do in New Orleans has a lot to live up to now.
