Welcome. This is the first post and these are the facts. We created this blog to memorialize the surreal experiment that was the 2007 Southampton Writers’ Conference. In a short time there will be pictures, movies, posts, stories, top-ten lists, and much more adding up to, essentially, a eulogy of the pride lost and fame gained over twelve infamous days in Southampton. Any and every conference participant is invited to toss in their stories, work, or memories from the conference. These are the facts and this is our blog. Enjoy.
