Re: CHAT: Boston miniconlangcon photos

Whee! Yoon, thanks so much for getting these up so fast! Too cool you are!!

   So, Yoon should be fairly sticking-out-like, since she was the only one
of the femaleness persuasion. On the Conlangers no longer looking at the
sign, the peoples is (w/ their conlang), left to right:

    Kou (D. Koller) - Géarthnuns
    Thomas Leigh - Rozhendi
    Ian Maxwell - Ingyrri
    Dennis Himes (aka Gandalf) - Gladilatian
    Dennis Moskiwitz - Rikchik
    Aidan Grey - Taalen
    Benjamin Bruch - Llenda (non-list conlanger)

    Yoon's lang was Naracze, by the way, and since she left with a sanskrit
grammar, I kind of wonder if here vertical hiragana will look even MORE
devanagari-ish.

After Yoon and Dennis M. left, we ended up in the cafe I manage, where I
supplied tea and hot chocolate, and we wondered what Rikchik porn would
look like. I had a fantastic time, and the book exchange was great (though
I still feel I got the better end of the deal, Yoon - I feel guilty and
might have to supply you with another grammar to make it even). I ended up
with a teach yourself Thai, an English "They have words for that" sort of
thing, and a book about interesting cultural concepts / vocab items in
Japanese.

    ObConlang:

    Here are some translation exercises based on quoted from the event:

    It's amazing what you can do with kleenex. (thanks to Yoon)

    Would you please clean my suckers? (Ben)

    Ian had another one about harddrives and something - but I made dumb
reasons for not writing it down. What was it again, Ian?
