Damn you. I just did a posting that was pretty much identical to this, in some passages almost word for word the same. I'll probably work at it some more and still post it. anyway.
LATER: yes, did that.
I am pleased it went so well. Sadly, a combination of work pressure and a worse-ythan-usual bout of rheumatoid, grounded me, otherwise I'd have been there.
Anyway, I kept the blogfires burning for you out in the styx, with the usual spats of controversy!
Well, I looked over the entire site for Libertarian Alliance and it says nothing about registration for the 2009 conference. If someone could please comment when I should check back to register with time to spare, this 21 year old American college student would appreciate it. Thanks
Whoops, correction:
"...entire site *of* Libertarian Alliance..." would be more accurate, sorry for spamming
As one of the younger crowd (though not a first timer), hello to everyone I met there, was a pleasure.
All the speakers were excellent, my only criticism (if even that) was that there was nothing really new or thought-provoking for me, more a case of reinforcing and builidng on my existing ideas than discovery of new ones.

There was a similar conference in Berlin yesterday, under the auspices of the Hayek Association. Here's the link to a report about it: http://ef-magazin.de/2008/10/30/780-gipfeltreffen-der-freiheitsfreunde-wenn-die-nacht-am-tiefsten-ist
(for those who can read German).
