FYI
The event went very well. The content of the presentations was excellent, and I got tons of good feedback from all the right people. There were some logistical slip-ups on the part of the event organisers and the venue. If you know me at all, you will well understand why Adriana whispered to Paul when something else went slightly wrong, “Jackie’s head is going to explode any second.”
That said, I’d have been much more upset if the proceedings had run without incident and the speakers had failed to interest anyone or say anything worthwhile. I picked them all myself, though, so I was pretty sure that, failing the presence of a totally braindead audience, that wouldn’t happen.
Er, anyway. I don’t want to say anything more about it, as I may jinx myself for next time around (which will be even better, even if it kills me). But thanks for the lovely emails and phone calls of support, and sorry if I rushed you off the phone because I was too pre-occupied with organising this and worrying about it. I’m counting on you to do that again next time, you know. (Not really.)
