I've just returned from my annual trip to the SfEP conference. It went something like this.
3 - people I really did not want to talk to.
2 - people who apparently did not want to talk to me.
8 - people who came to my workshop.
1 - workshop I attended, apart from my own.
9 - my room number.
100+ - people in attendance.
8 - people on my table at the banquet.
2 - bottles of wine on the banquet table for 8 people to share for the entire meal.
50-something - times I logged in to Twitter while sitting in seminars.
197 - total emails awaiting my attention on my return.
534 - items awaiting my attention in my RSS feed on my return.
1 - friend/chauffeur I fed when arrived home last night.
5 - minutes it took me to log into the campus wifi network (a record, as I had no problems).
0 - complaints I made this year (also a record, as I usually have at least one issue).

100+ attendees? Wow. That seems like a big drop from last year. But then, seeing as I didn't even renew my membership this year as I can no longer justify the expense, it's hardly surprising...
It was probably closer to 150. I just couldn't be bothered to count my way through the attendance list! Sorry to hear you're no longer with us - you're right it's getting very expensive. I hear it's partly because of the alleged very high salary of the newest staff member in the office...
