Conference dinner, evening of Thursday 12th August



Piers Coleman
The organizers decided we should get out of the lecture theatre, so on the last evening of the conference arranged a conference dinner. This dinner took place on the sea-front right beside the Adriatico guest house, where we ate nice sea food and drank wine, grappa and limoncello (some more than others!)

Piers started the proceedings by announcing that he wouldn't make a speech, but would instead haphazardly pick individuals out of the crowd to do so.

First up was Paul Canfield, who was pleased to be here, and commented upon the romantic lifestyle of theorists. Aharon Kapitulnik agrees with Paul. Ilya Eremin gave a toast to the bloggers, and Laura Greene sang to us. We then had Zlatko Tesanovich, of the 'old generation' reminiscing about the first time he came to this conference in the 80's, and Natasha Perkins urging the 'old generation' (supervisors) to send the 'new generation' (students) to conferences.

Much fun was had by all. This is the life!
