Reminder

These are the locations of the APSA annual meetings. Annual meetings were held between Christmas and New Year's through 1950, with the exception of 1943-45 when they were held later in winter due to wartime travel restrictions. APSA 2009 was not the first annual meeting held out of the country.

Wow, did not know the cancelation in 2012 was the first in more than 70 years. No wonder Lynn was so adamant despite Fowlers' begging and confession of love.

Seems like a nice meeting in a good location. You would be lucky to attend.

do APSA attendees ever attend those clubs while there for APSA conferences?

Lenny:

Yes. The clubs in Cicero were packed with APSA folks this year when the conference was in Chicago. Most of them were still wearing their name badges.

So, when they see one another at those clubs, do they usually carry on the conversations started at the panels about their research/papers/presentations or do they try to pretend not to see the others?

The first thing they do when they see another APSA-er is notice that they, themselves, are still wearing their name tags which they try to quickly and furtively take off (this just draws even more attention to them, however). They then commence to try and ignore the others.

The exception, of course, is Theda. That irrepressible, gregarious vixen is checking out the competition and runs from table to table declaring, "they have nothing on me. It's amateur night."

My understanding is that it was one of these boisterous escapades of bravado that led to the infamous Theda-MHP slap-fight at the Palmer House a few years back.

Why so much San Francisco? Are there really no other cities on the west coast?!

^No, it's that there are no other West Coast cities in which hotel service strikes can so easily ruin the conference. We like to play with fire, us scholars.

Like today, many political scientists were busy with research and unaware of the war until they received notification from APSA.

Nothing remotely odd about that. In 1932 Detroit was the fourth largest city in the country. Detroit was booming from ~1920 to ~1960. It was unironically known as the Paris of the Midwest. Too bad they didn't have it in Detroit in 1935 when Detroit became known as the "City of Champions" (NFL title, World Series, Stanley Cup, Joe Louis heavyweight champion, and several other champions in lesser followed sports like boat racing).

They should have it in upstate South Carolina. I hear it has a very European feel.

San Francisco has always welcomed all kinds of kooks. So, really, there is no better city for an APSA meeting.

APSA is obligated to go to San Francisco for a certain number of years as a settlement for the year that APSA cancelled (and broke its contract) in San Francisco and moved to Seattle due to the labor strike.

f**k APSA. They should waive the registration fee for everyone but tenured CHYMPS if they're going to insist on holding this conference at overpriced coastal-ish cities (and, no, Chicago doesn't count as a concession; it's just as expensive and in a worse location). Few of us on the market can afford to fly from one end of the country to the other, pay for exorbitant hotels and food, and then eat for the rest of the year.

You're really telling me that St. Louis, Cleveland, Kansas City etc. can't handle this s**tty conference? What about Texas? It has three of the largest cities in the country, it's right in the middle, and the food's better and cheaper than in Philly. WTF? f**k APSA.
