putting the symposium back into sosp
TRANSCRIPT
Why do we even go to conferences?
Not for the talks: Can just read the papers
Not really for the networking: Use Facebook already!
Definitely not for the food.
One possibility: Free WiFi
Symposium format
Men reclining on couches around the room
Giant vessel (κρατή� ρ) of wine,served by nude servant boys
Playing music and singing songs
Many speeches on politics andphilosophy
Courtesans (ἑταῖραι)
κό� τταβός Objective:
Fling wine from your cup into a bronze bowl across the room
Utter name of beloved as wine is thrown
May only use right hand
Skill at κό� τταβός may attract attention of suitors
Oh… Mothy!
