2.27.2009: Philly's Finest

After chivalrously getting dropped off at the airport at the crack of dawn, I napped all the way to Philly to gear up for a weekend at the Ethnography Forum. My paper partners were on board with skipping Friday's sessions to enjoy an afternoon at the Anthropology Museum (fascinating!) and a tour of Philly from a hometown friend (Liberty Bell! Independence Hall! sprawling oil refineries!). I decided at the last minute to go and was glad that I did.
