Let me know if I've missed any.
Now, I feel that the AIA is a good excuse for another Blogging Pompeii Social Event! I suggest that we meet after the 'Pompeii' session on Friday afternoon, and retire to the closest bar for an hour or two. (This is not restricted to Blogging Pompeii contributors - anyone who wants to come and talk Pompeii is welcome). So, who's game?
A blog for all those who work on Pompeii and the other archaeological sites of the Bay of Naples.

Sounds great! I'll be there!
A cool drink runs a close second to talking about Pompeii for me, so count me in too.
Due to prior commitments I can't make Anaheim....very sad especially after looking at the Pompeii speaking schedule. I would have loved to hear what was being presented. Have a drink or two or three for me and hopefully I will get a chance to meet people next year.
Yep, i'll be there. I'm chairing the session, Jo, so let me know if you want me to spread the word that way.
That is an excellent idea, Steven! Thank you! The more the merrier!
I will be there!
Great idea, Jo! Arthur and I look forward to it.
I'll be there as well!
Best of luck to all the presenters. Wish I could be there but finishing up the doctorate means I'll miss both the papers and the drinks. Enjoy!
