IABC awards

Strong Language doesn’t get out much, and we remain a hermit despite many attempts to reform us. Coffee and a T1 line — O wilderness were paradise enow.

Then they said, “Hey, SL, why don’t you come to the IABC awards this year? They’re called Atlanta’s Got Talent — and there’s sauce bearnaise on the menu!”

It was an invite we couldn’t decline, and it was a treat. Beautiful work well recognized —  many interesting conversations — sauce worth slurping (though we did not) — and a very funny Conn-man at the podium. And mimes.

We’re a little busy at the moment — Recession on Line 3 — but we’ll offer more substantive notes presently. (We may even tackle the mime question — an antilanguage if ever there were.)

Meanwhile, kudos to the winners, thanx to Elena and all the organizers and volunteers, and backatcha to the kindly greetings of all.
