The ASA is catching up with the times. There is WiFi in all the meeting rooms. They are webcasting the plenaries. The organization even announced the twitter hashtag for the meetings (#asa13 – four digit years are so Y2K). It might seem like things are changing too fast for you (if so, you can take a course from The HUB). But there is one thing you can always count on to remain steadfast in these tumultuous times: the bloggers will drink together at the ASA.
Please join us at
5pm on Sunday, August 11
for a bloggerly beverage at
Lillie’s Victorian Establishment
It will be so wonderful to see you there. As always, all blog participants-writers and readers, commenters and lurkers-are most welcome. Rumors to the contrary aside, we also like twitterers and tumblrrs. Come on by!
We encourage faculty to buy at least one drink for a thirsty student, who will someday impress her future colleagues: “I recommend Citizen Speak for your work on democratic participation.” “Oh, yes, Andy bought me an appletini in New York that time. What a nice guy.”
I hope you all can make it.

“I do think that the “chronically hip grad student” square was not just … a mainstream culture-embedded dig at hipsters, but also an indication of a general discomfort among less technologically savvy sociologists at the increasing use of technology to augment professional scholarly activities …”
Good times, man. Good times.

You can be sure that Andy will be buying Appletinis, that’s for sure.

So many great advances in ASA’s technological reach. Looking forward to others’ tweets and posts about the meeting and a few evening drinks (of course).

Is it unethical to trade appletinis for sufficient references to make it into one of Neal’s lists? It is, of course, completely unaffordable, but I’m wondering about principle here, not practicality.

Clearly, this is an empirical question.
