Karen, it was so great to meet you and hang out! You summed up so well what I loved about the conference. And guess what? I too discovered ACES through the tweets from the Vegas conference, particularly those tweets announcing/debating "more than" and "over," and I knew I really wanted to be there. I wasn't an ACES member before that either but then joined with plans to go to Pittsburgh. I agree wholeheartedly about Bill Walsh and Ben Zimmer's presentations and your feelings about the spelling bee and our freelancer happy hour. I didn't go to Mary Norris's session, but know so many people loved her. Wow, what a cool experience getting to chat with her at Olive and Twist! I'm so glad you had the courage to sit down with her. See you on Twitter!
