One more time from LA
It's been another long and enjoyable day here in LA. There are some more summaries of our productive meeting yesterday, from Jenny D, Free Range Librarian, and most thoroughly, from Clifford Johnson. Since there are comments at Cosmic Variance that Clifford was always the photographer and wasn't in any of the photos, here's another picture of him.

See? I told you he eats ice cream with chopsticks.
I spent the morning at the Natural History Museum, with Duane, Bruce, and John…

…and with Don Frack and Troy Britain. I wasn't at all impressed with the Collapse exhibit, but the insect zoo was very cool.

We met up with Andy Groves and spent a few hours at the Museum of Jurassic Technology, which is rather hard to describe, except that it was remarkably bizarre and we really needed some psilocybin to appreciate it properly. We also made brief tour of the Page Museum.
Dinner was at El Chollo—good Mexican—and we were joined by the Mysterious Radagast. I have top secret photos to prove it, but I'll be nice and protect his anonymity by giving you picture of me and Andy instead.

I'll be heading back to good ol' Minnesota early in the morning, and will be back in the regular blogging business tomorrow.


Glad you made it out to the MJT! I left there with a slight headache from trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't, but I loved it anyway. (Or maybe I was subliminally hungry from all of the In N Out scents wafting over.)
There's a pretty good book about it called "Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders," by Lawrence Weschler, that gives some of the background of the museum (which is basically the work and vision of one guy, David Wilson).
The Page Museum is nice, too -- I spent many a happy lunch hour there when I worked across the street. But it's no MJT.
