While there's something absolutely priceless about being able to get nearly unlimited facetime with the guy who won Battledecks, there have been a few conference talks/conversations that I wish I had caught in person.
Alternative reality Sippey has unlimited time and an unlimited budget to jet around to hear things like this. Actual reality Sippey has blogs that recap! And in some cases, video! So there's that.
Dave Eggers' talk is just brilliant! Thanks for the link!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dave Egger's talk live and it was wonderful. But I sure would have loved to see Reich speak. I am a huge fan. I distinctly remember getting beaten up in my 20th Centure Music History class in college when I vigorously defended Reich and Glass. I feel just as strongly about the beauty and wonder of their music 20 years later (oy, I can't believe it has been 20 years).
