New York City, December 2008.





"Mary Lou, Mary Lou, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Mary Lou,Uh-uh Mary, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, my Mary Lou-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh..."


Oh right, Peggy Sue.

Looks like Mary Lou, or at least Mary Lou's biz card, has not seen a lot of action in the Revolution for awhile. Or, maybe the printer made a mistake--God, a couple of mistakes--which would have Unleashed the Fury of Mary Lou! Hope they gave her a discount.

Point of personal privilege here however: I do not think that "Mary Lou's" can "Unleash Fury."  As might be said in Social Text the juxtaposition of "Mary Lou" and "Unleash Fury" creates "cognitive dissonance." A more martial name--say Yaowu--is needed. Yaowu Greenberg: such it will henceforth be.

She was actually a very nice person, not a panelist, just a comrade-ette helping out at the conference.

I had a lot of fun that weekend.
