I thought of all of you leaving; it seems strange that you are gone. It was a wonderful time!

Yes, folks, please check out all the HNA photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/MichaeDylanWelch. Comments welcome, especially if you can help fill in missing names and other details. The dance on the boat cruise will live on in haiku infamy for years to come!

There was something magical about this HNA conference that set it apart, something warmer, more inclusive, and even more stimulating than previous haiku conferences. Perhaps it was the combination of great facilities, tremendous tourist attractions nearby, fine organization, and above all the attendance by a truly great bunch of poets. What a great time it was, with many highlights, only some of which have already been pointed out.

Enjoyed more poetry READING than usual and freed-up time for chatting with old and new friends. Good mix of mainliner haikuists and “avant-garde” fringe. Almost the sixties forty years out from WOODSTOCK!

Liked the eighties disco boat with FIREWORKS!

Good vibes throughout.

Who could ask for more.
