LPSC: Bye bye Texas

texas.jpg

Things are winding down here in League City, and I'm going to bust out before I find myself trapped in the 90 degree weather on the Houston freeways. I've enjoyed the conference immensely. It's important scientifically and still somehow a hidden gem, not yet overrun with us media types.

But co-organizer Steve Mackwell, director of LPI, says LPSC has become so big that it might have to move to a different city next year. Now don't get me wrong -- I'll be happy to head to San Fran, LA, Denver or wherever next year. But the humid coziness of League City -- you're forced to commingle because there's nothing else to do -- will nevertheless be missed.
