It was too late at night! If it had been possible to schedule this session from 5 to 8 instead of 8 to 11, perhaps there might have been better attendance. APA days are long, especially if you like going to paper sessions, which start as early as 8:30 (and some meetings are earlier than that). I, for one, am not hearty enough for nighttime activities. It was a good convention this year, though. --Anne Mahoney (who is *eagerly* looking forward to curling up with her Latin Kalevala!) .
