Hey guys! I've tried to write a "Hi guys! I'm back! post for several times now, but things always sort of got out of hands and...well, I've been "back" for a week now. I'm also not at home right now: I'm in Helsinki, at the World Congress of Semiotics. Boy, am I excited to be here...

Ah yes, the ASS World Congress.

*whuffles Daniel in a welcome back sort of way*

Ass congress? I'm so there! Where do I go?

Oh, welcome back, Daniel Charms!

I'm afraid the Ass congress doesn't take place until next month, so you're a tad early.

Oh, and thanks!

What were the directions like to the semiotics place?

Any conference that has puppets is all right by me.

Looks fascinating, DC. Good to hear from you!

In addition to dolls (I listened to that presentation and learned a lot about the ways you can communicate with a doll), it also has many interesting people attending (but also quite a few weird ones). I suppose this is what it's for: so that people could meet other people.

TheDonF: There were none. You just had to know where it was :)

Hey Daniel Charms! Hope Helsinki is a good time!

You tried to write a "Hi Guys" post and all you got was a "Hey Guys" post.
Now (summer) must be a great time to visit Helsinki! Traveling is COOL!

Also, your quotes are out of balance and this hurts my nerd eyes :P

I hear Hugh Janus is the star attraction at the ass congress.

My involvement in ass congress over the years has made me what I am.

That's pretty cool.

I loved Helsinki. Try to get over to Suomenlinna while you're there. It's only a 10-minute ferry ride and it's beautiful.

Hooray for semiotics!

And arse_hat is in attendance too? That really tops things off at the congress!

Now if we can just get Faint of Butt to post in here, I can make a third ass joke in this thread.

matildaben: I agree, Suomenlinna is a very nice place :)
