I got a picture with Daniel Handler at the reception. Then Daniel Handler played the accordion and sang “Without Libraries We’d be Dum,” with special effects by Maira Kalman. Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman gave a speech together thanking us for the Honor for Why We Broke Up. The night began, not surprisingly seeing who got the Honor award, with comedy.

The goal will be to post at least one Conference Corner post each week, but maybe I can do better.
