I could, but it would take something drastic to get me to do so. A dare might do it.

Wish I could be two places at once, maybe offer an early and a later event each night for next year. I want to see, hear them all.

Wow, I guess I should have read all the comments before I made my own. Clearly I’m not the only one who had this thought.

Is anyone recording this stuff? We live in an amazing time when the musings of someone like Roy can be captured for posterity but I fear that often economic/legal forces prevent it. These presentations are likely to have meaningful historical value, and the production value is of pretty low importance, so long as you can hear what’s said and see the speaker not much else is needed.

Just wondering, its highly unlikely I’ll be able to attend but having the opportunity to watch the proceedings at some point would likely be time well spent. As it is, it feels at least like, much of this extemporaneous history from our time is being made ephemeral when it could be persevered with minimal effort.

I’m of (nearly) the same opinion as John Cashman, and Fred West, I hate getting dressed up and my knees look like they were made up from spare parts…from Odd Lots! So the kilt is out!
Unfortunately, my wife and I will be traveling out of state and I won’t be able to go to WIA this year. Will the “handouts” from the Roubo dinner be available to the masses later?

Once again, I will be unable to attend WIA. And Chris’ description of the “Feast” makes me wish for some HP magic so I could be in two places at once.

Are there any plans to record presentations? Or at least publish a transcript (probably not the same since both are so entertaining)? Certainly others not able to attend would be willing to buy either or both items. Perhaps this could be a perk of joining the yet to exist Roubo Society.

Ron vs Roubo: 2011′s catch 22! :/

Jameel, I will take over the kicking of you in case you are tired. I can’t wait for this dinner. Megan, I have my skirt but no one, including my dogs wants to see me in one.

Chris,

Since it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it, I’m sending you a check for a round or two for you, Roy, and Don.
