- Conferences attended and new journals started because the old one was full of notes
- Books purchased (Safe Food by Marion Nestle and Eat Here by Brian Halweil), and hours driven to and from Corvallis for the conference.
- Hours of tapes filled with recordings of talks, small sessions attended (i.e. not keynote or endnote), business cards collected (one from the Ecotrust guy promoting the Farmer-Chef Connection conferences, one from a very kind OSU geography professor, and one from an NYU food studies program graduate who now works for a Seattle market research firm that gathered the data I need for my book on what happens now that organic is mainstream), and Marion Nestle autographs collected like the fangirl I am.
- Fountain pen cartridges emptied while taking the aforementioned pages and pages of notes, and total tea bags consumed at Allison’s house and at the conference.
I could go on and on, but I think you’re getting the idea. (more…)
