Hello all, A few things. First, I hardly need to add my voice to the chorus of praise of the conference, its planners and attendees, and especially of Barb and her staff. As a graduate student attending for the first time, I was overwhelmed and delighted by the intellectual quality of the panels and, more importantly, the gracious personal support and excitement of all attendees to everyone, but especially to me as a graduate student. The only problem, as I see it, is that the conference may have ruined other conferences for me...but see my third point below. Second, Alex and Mark, I have a pitch-black video of Hal Holbrook up on the hill talking about meeting Clara. The sound quality is poor, but I could make a transcription and send it along to individuals or the forum, if people would like. Third, while unable to compete with this past weekend, the Humor Studies Caucus of the American Studies Association is sponsoring two panels at the upcoming ASA meeting in Washington, D.C.--one on the pedagogy and methodology of humor studies and one on Mark Twain. Following that, we will be planning for the 2010 conference in San Antonio. All are welcome to be involved in the Humor Studies Caucus--there are no responsibilities, dues, or other encumbrances, unless you want to present on a panel (or organize one, even better). Please contact me off list if you are interested at [log in to unmask] and see our website at http://www.theasa.net/caucus_humor_studies/ Best, Tracy Wuster American Studies UT Austin
