MLA updates foiled!

Well, I wanted to use this forum to post a few cheeky observations about the MLA (Modern Language Association) convention in Philadelphia, where the elite meet tout suite, but upon arrival I've discovered that it's damn near impossible to find a free wireless internet connection around here. My hotel seems to think that it's appropriate to charge an extra $12 a day (on top of their already steep room price) for the use of their internet connection, and adjoining hotels are of like mind. Luckily, after roaming the convention center for half an hour, I have found a pocket of wireless open to the public. I don't know where I am right now, but I'm online, so I must be somewhere.

Anyway, I won't be able to give timely updates, but I'll try to file away a few things to say in these brief moments of limited access to the internet, so stay tuned.
