NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Aaaarrrrgghh!!! NO NO NO. It is not fair!

Today I get an invitation to attend a political conference in Washington DC. The keynote speakers are Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Ann Coulter. Oh, heaven.

Other speakers include Newt Gingrich, Oliver North, Rick Santorum, Bob Novak, Robert Bork, David Horowitz and Zell Miller.

Wild horses couldn’t keep me away.

But it is on from 17 to 19 February 2005. And I will be flying to Kyoto to attend various meetings which make up Apricot 2005. Aarrghh! I can’t make the Washington conference. Sob. Where’s that damn vodka when I need it 🙁
