i know ireland is a small country, and i know we have a
reputation for excessive friendliness, but, *really*, camille?... ;)
for the record, i will be in dublin over christmas. hardly surprising, as
i live here.
i would be thrilled to meet any surviving bananafish for drinkies or,
indeed, scintillating viewings of the book of kells, and urge matt to
email me the dates of his stay as soon as he knows them.
just out of curiosity, did the ny spring break meet ever happen?
