So many things to attend in Pasadena, so little time. Here’s a brief list of which sessions seemed most interesting to me. (Be warned – I have very odd interests, so some objectively interesting things are probably not included. And I have a pro-Brown and pro-Cornell bias.) What follows will look awful in anything less than 1024*768, so if you’re running 800*600 I suggest moving to a higher resolution before clicking the ‘more’ link.

What I’ll be doing: Probably going to Fodor. But I seem to have this strange habit of only going to Fodor talks where he reads the paper out, which doesn’t give him the chance to display his full potential. So maybe I’ll look at one of the bloggers papers.

Friday Night

I’m sure there are many many good things happening here, but I won’t be at any of them. I’m well and truly open to dinner / party / after-party / we-really-should-be-quitting-but-one-more-drink-won’t-hurt invitations.

Saturday Afternoon 1-4

	Time	Speaker(s)	Title(s)	Commentator(s)
B	1-4	David Chalmers Georges Rey William Lycan Joseph Levine	Author Meets Critics: Joseph Levine, Purple Haze: The Puzzle of Consciousness

What I’ll be doing: Either watching an elite eight game (won’t the first one be starting around then?) or sitting in the back row doing Hendrix air guitar all the way through the 3 hour Purple Haze session. I think it’s a shame that the final four is so late this year. It means (a) March Madness is in April, (b) basketball is running into baseball season, and (c) the final four isn’t on during the APA Pacific.

Saturday Evening 4-7

What I’ll be doing: I guess that largely depends how the games are going. I’m definitely going to Carolina’s paper, and I would definitely go to Jonathan’s if I hadn’t heard it before. But everything else on the list is in the ‘maybe’ category.

Saturday Night

See Friday night.

Sunday Morning 9-12

	Time	Speaker(s)	Title(s)	Commentator(s)

What I’ll be doing: The three K papers.

Then it’s back to Boston, then Providence, then Wesleyan, then Ithaca, then Syracuse, then back to teaching.
